Deploying Vibe Coded Apps

Get your app live — the right way

Quick answer

Vibe coded apps built with Bolt, Lovable, or Cursor are typically deployed to Vercel or Cloudflare Workers. Vercel is the default for Next.js apps — connect your GitHub repo and it deploys automatically on every push. Railway is the best option for apps that need a persistent backend or worker processes. Cloudflare Workers is optimal for edge performance and global distribution with zero cold starts.

Q: How do I deploy a vibe coded app?

A: Export your app to GitHub from Bolt or Lovable, then import the repo to Vercel. It auto-detects Next.js and deploys in under 2 minutes.

They are auth, payments, security, or compliance issues that show up the moment the app goes live. Fix those before you ship more pages or more features.
