Taking over your vibe coding project and making it production-ready

Vibe coding means creating software mainly by describing it in natural language: tools such as Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor or Claude Code generate the code from prompts, without anyone reading or designing every line. It gets you a clickable prototype within hours and is a legitimate, useful first step. wunderwerk uses AI-assisted development itself; what separates a prototype from production software is the architecture, testing, security and operations that have to follow.

A prototype built with Lovable, Bolt or Cursor is usually not production-ready yet, and that’s normal: AI builders optimise for the first working version. Production-ready means access rights are deliberately designed, data lives in a sound model with backups, and there are automated tests, separate environments, monitoring and someone who is responsible. Typical security gaps are missing access rules in the database, so every logged-in user can read or change all data; API keys in the frontend or the repository; unchecked input; open endpoints without authentication; and dependencies with known vulnerabilities. In a technical analysis, wunderwerk assesses how far your prototype is from production and fixes these points first, before real users arrive. Whether your existing application has open security gaps, our security check for web applications shows you.

Yes. wunderwerk takes over vibe coding projects built with Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, Claude Code and similar tools, after a paid technical analysis. In it we review code, architecture, security, data model, tests, operations and dependencies, and work out with you which rights exist to the existing code and the libraries it uses. We then recommend whether continuing, stabilising or rebuilding the core is more economical, and take over as your technology partner for stabilisation, go-live, further development and operation.

With wunderwerk, you start with a fixed-price technical analysis that takes one to two weeks depending on project size and ends with a written report; you receive the fixed-price offer within two working days of your request via the form. What comes next depends on the findings: stabilisation with access rights, tests and deployment usually takes a few weeks, while rebuilding the core is a project of its own. Before every step you get a transparent cost framework. We deliberately don’t offer a free code check or an effort estimate without looking at code, database and hosting, because it would be an opinion without a basis; the report, by contrast, keeps its value even if you continue with someone else.

At wunderwerk, the technical analysis takes one to two weeks. Depending on scope, we can often stabilise the critical points (access rights, secrets, backups, deployment and tests for the core) in two to six weeks. Rebuilding the core is a project of its own with the prototype as the starting point, usually taking a few months. Your existing prototype stays usable throughout.

Whether a vibe coding project is continued, modernised or rebuilt is decided by wunderwerk’s technical analysis, not by gut feeling. Continue if the architecture and data model hold up and what’s mainly missing is tests, permissions and operations. Modernise step by step if the core is good but individual parts need replacing. Rebuild if every change costs more than it brings or the code can’t be understood. Even then your prototype isn’t lost: we use it as a specification more precise than any requirements document, and carry over data and workflows.

wunderwerk takes over projects from Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf and comparable tools. Technically, that usually means TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node and Postgres or Supabase, exactly the stack we have used for years to build software for companies. We also work with PHP/Laravel and React Native. We don’t maintain projects whose core is in .NET long term, but we’re happy to review them and recommend a suitable partner.

After go-live, wunderwerk can take on maintenance, updates, monitoring and further development as your ongoing technology partner; we have worked with some clients for 10–15 years. You can still keep working with Lovable, Cursor or Claude Code yourself, and that often makes sense, because you know your field best. We set up guardrails for it: separate branches, automated tests, review before deployment and clear rules about who changes which parts of the application. That way you keep the speed of the AI tools without the software becoming disposable again.

A vibe coding application is GDPR-compliant when data protection is set up deliberately; many prototypes integrate US services without a data processing agreement or store personal data without a deletion policy. In the analysis, wunderwerk checks which services are integrated and sets up hosting in the EU, on-premise or in a private cloud if you prefer. As a team from Austria, EU & GDPR first is the norm for us.

wunderwerk takes over vibe coding projects for companies with an established business and for funded start-ups with their first users in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. We work remotely and on site in Tyrol, Salzburg, Vienna and Berlin. As a rule, we don’t take over projects from individuals without a company, users or funding, because software that lasts doesn’t pay off there; in the initial consultation we’ll tell you openly which next steps are more affordable.

Yes, digitalisation and software projects in Austria, Germany and Switzerland are funded through various programmes, depending on country, region, company size and project. However, KMU.DIGITAL, the Austrian SME programme, no longer accepts new applications and will not continue from 2027. In a free funding check or initial consultation, wunderwerk shows you which programmes are available for your project now.
