Prototype to Production Services

Let's Talk
  • PASS THE SECURITY REVIEW

    Bring access control and data protection up to the level your security team signs off on.

  • SHIP CHANGES ON SCHEDULE

    Put critical flows under automated tests so every release keeps existing features intact.

  • SCALE TO THE WHOLE COMPANY

    Move the prototype onto infrastructure that carries enterprise load and connects to your core systems.

Prototype to Production

From an Internal Prototype to a System the Business Can Run On

AI coding tools can get a team to a working prototype pretty quickly. Production is a different problem. The system has to pass security review, fit your engineering standards, and be something your team can actually maintain.

Devox Software is a US-based engineering company with development teams across Central and Eastern Europe. We keep the parts of the prototype that already work and bring the rest up to production standards.

Every engagement starts with a two-week discovery. We review the code with your team, understand how the system is supposed to work, and decide what can stay and what needs to be rebuilt.

What We Offer

Where We Step In

Regression-Safe Stabilization

We put automated tests around the critical flows and add review gates, so new releases do not break what already works.

Secure Delivery Governance

Security checks run in CI/CD on every change, whether the code came from an engineer or an AI tool.

Technical Debt Remediation

We remove duplicate logic and unused dependencies, then rebuild the codebase around a cleaner modular foundation that lowers maintenance costs.

Precision Business Logic Engineering

We rebuild flows around persistent user IDs, transaction rules, idempotency, and explicit ownership logic so the system behaves correctly outside the happy path.

What We Deliver

Services We Provide

  • AI Codebase Audit

    The fastest path to production often introduces the highest operational risk. Our AI codebase audit finds hidden risks such as hardcoded secrets, architecture drift, and performance bottlenecks. We rebuild the context layer — tools, memory and structured data — so the system stops depending on brittle prompts.

    Our audit focuses on the areas most likely to block production:

    • Architecture Drift Mapping. Restore a consistent system architecture. We built a map of architectural deviations, identifying duplicated logic and inconsistent layers that emerged from chaotic prompt iterations.
    • AI Capability Boundary Mapping. We identify which parts can stay AI-assisted, which need human review, and which need a rewrite because the current logic cannot be verified for production.
    • Dependency and Supply Chain Audit. We review dependencies added by AI agents, check for CVE risk, and recommend safer alternatives.
  • Vibe Coding Rescue Sprint

    Is cleanup turning into an endless sprint? A Vibe Coding Rescue Sprint stabilizes AI-generated code by fixing transactions, state management, and error handling.

    This sprint focuses on the production issues most likely to break the product:

    • Backend Stabilization Pass. Prevent production failures from going undetected. We rewrite critical backend code that AI agents created without proper error handling, transactions, or validation.
    • State and Data Flow Normalization. We clean up chaotic application state caused by random prompt changes and restore predictable behavior.
    • Error Handling Framework. We add centralized error handling so hidden failures do not make it into production.
    • API contract realignment. We rebuild API contracts broken by uncontrolled AI changes and keep frontend and backend behavior in sync.
  • Production‑Ready Migration

    Moving from an AI-built MVP to a production system requires significant engineering work. Our production-ready migration adds the controls, observability, transaction safety, and secure authentication your product needs before launch. We introduce model routing so different tasks use the right model without rewriting the application.

    The migration covers the controls your MVP needs before launch:

    • Environment Separation Setup. We create full dev/stage/prod environments that AI platforms do not generate and set up secure deployment pipelines.
    • Transaction-Safe Backend Rewrite. We rewrite critical business operations using transactions and idempotency to avoid race conditions often created by AI code.
    • Product Invariant Reconstruction. We define and enforce the rules AI agents usually leave implicit: user identity, account ownership, billing logic, role boundaries, data access, and failure behavior.
    • Production Observability Layer. We add the monitoring and alerts your team needs to understand how the system behaves in production.
    • Production-Grade Error Budgeting. We define error budgets so your team can track product stability after migration.
  • Legacy Modernization for AI MVPs

    New AI features should not put your existing business operations at risk. We help AI-built products integrate safely with ERP and CRM systems without disrupting existing workflows.

    We stabilize legacy integrations by focusing on the systems that carry real business risk:

    • Legacy API Wrapping. We create adapters that allow AI-generated code to work with legacy ERP/CRM systems without the risk of breaking existing processes.
    • Zero-Downtime Migration Planning. We design a phased transition so modernization doesn’t stop production or financial transactions.
    • Data Model Harmonization. We align legacy data schemas with new AI modules, avoiding type conflicts and duplication.
    • Legacy Security Hardening. We close vulnerabilities in old systems that AI code might accidentally exploit through incorrect integrations.
    • Event-Driven Refactor. We move core systems toward event-driven architecture, so AI modules can run asynchronously and scale without blocking critical workflows.
  • DevSecOps

    The biggest security risk in AI-generated code is weak protection for sensitive data and secrets. We secure the delivery process by isolating secrets, rebuilding access controls, and adding SAST and DAST checks to CI/CD.

    The DevSecOps framework we implement involves the following critical services:

    • Auth and RBAC Reconstruction. We rebuild authorization with clear roles and access policies, replacing insecure AI-generated solutions.
    • CI/CD Security Gates. We add static and dynamic security checks to pipelines to block dangerous changes before deployment.
    • API Abuse Protection. We add rate limiting and anomaly detection that many AI-built MVPs skip.
    • Compliance-Aligned Logging. We configure audit logs that meet the requirements of modern compliance standards.
  • Cloud Re-architecture

    Unplanned cloud spend is one of the hidden costs of uncontrolled AI deployment. Our cloud re-architecture work gives you a clear migration plan, a scalable runtime, and infrastructure that grows predictably.

    The re-architecture process is structured around these core actions:

    • Cloud Migration Blueprint. We design the migration path from AI platforms to the cloud, considering infrastructure constraints.
    • Serverless/Container Rebuild. We rewrite the backend into a containerized or serverless architecture for scalability.
    • Autoscaling Policies. We configure horizontal scaling based on real-world load metrics.
    • Observability Stack Deployment. We install a comprehensive monitoring stack for full system control.
    • Cost-Efficiency Optimization. We optimize costs by eliminating inefficient AI-generated resources.
  • AI Delivery Harness

    Your AI development process needs clear controls. The AI Delivery Harness turns vague prompts into clear specs and requires AI-generated code to pass security, logic, and workflow checks before deployment.

    The delivery harness enforces control and structure through the following:

    • Agent Orchestration Framework. We build a system where agents work with clear roles rather than chaotically, as in vibe coding.
    • Spec-Driven Development. We turn product rules into agent-readable specifications: formal product specifications that prevent AI tools from reshaping the architecture with every prompt. We convert product rules into agent-readable specifications that prevent architecture drift on every new prompt.
    • Guardrail Enforcement. We implement restrictions that prevent agents from changing critical modules without review.
    • Verifiability Pipelines. We build testable environments where AI-generated changes must prove they preserve production integrity and core business logic before deployment. We add verifiability pipelines and production traces so every AI-generated change can be audited after deployment.
    • Multi-Agent Workflow Automation. We orchestrate interaction between multiple agents, so they perform complex processes without conflicts.
Our Process

How We Turn AI-Built MVPs Into Production Systems

01.

01. Vibe Code Assessment

We stabilize multi-agent prototypes by introducing clear agent roles, shared memory, and orchestration rules so agents stop overwriting each other’s decisions. We map technical debt, security gaps, architecture drift, and the production risks that are harder to see in a demo. AI tools often miss ownership logic, identity models, integration failures, and workflows that cannot be verified reliably.

02.

02. Rescue roadmap

You receive a prioritized roadmap that separates cosmetic code issues from critical production blockers.

03.

03. Control Spec

Before refactoring begins, we define the rules the system must never violate across identity, security, and business logic. This becomes the control layer for both engineers and AI agents.

04.

04. Cleanup and stabilization

We keep what is worth keeping, often the validated user interface, and rebuild the production foundation underneath it.

05.

05. Feature Integrations

Our engineers take on the work AI agents struggle to handle safely. We set up complex payment systems, multi-tenant databases, and integrations with third-party enterprise services.

06.

06. CI/CD Guardrails and Launch

We separate the project into development and production environments. We add automated tests and merge checks so new code is reviewed before deployment.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do we need to rebuild the prototype from scratch?

    Rarely. The prototype already holds the most valuable part: the flows your stakeholders tested and approved. We keep them and rebuild the layer underneath, where prototypes usually take shortcuts in data structure and access control.

    A full rewrite makes sense only when fixing the existing code would cost more than replacing it. You see that comparison in the Discovery results before any decision is made.

  • What’s the difference between taking a prototype to production and refactoring it?

    Refactoring improves code that already has a clear structure. A prototype assembled quickly with AI tools often grew one prompt at a time. The same logic can sit in several places, and the business rules may exist only in the conversation history.

    We start by defining what the system is supposed to do. Then we compare that with what the code actually does and close the gap.

  • What happens during the two-week discovery phase?

    Our engineers review the code together with your team. We map where the prototype departs from the architecture your company runs on and which security gaps would block an internal review. We also identify the workflows that still need explicit business rules.

    You receive a production roadmap. It separates the blockers to fix before launch from the improvements that can wait for later releases.

  • How do you prepare the system for our internal security review?

    We start from your company’s security requirements and work back to the code. Secrets move out of the codebase into managed storage. Authentication and authorization are rebuilt around your identity provider and role model. Database access is checked against user and tenant boundaries.

    CI/CD pipelines get static analysis and dependency scanning, so every later change goes through the same checks. Your security team receives documentation for each control.

  • How will the product integrate with our core systems?

    We connect it through adapters and stable API contracts, so the new product and your existing workflows can evolve independently. Data models are aligned with the schemas your core systems already use.

    Rollout happens in phases. Each phase is tested against live integrations before the next one starts.

  • Can our team continue using AI coding tools once the product is in production?

    Yes. What changes is how that work is governed. We define which modules AI tools can change freely and which require human review. Critical areas such as payments and access control get approval gates.

    Every AI-generated change then passes the same tests and security checks as code written by engineers.

  • Do you use AI in your own development process?

    Yes, under engineer control. AI speeds up lower-risk tasks such as test generation and code search. Architecture and security decisions stay with our engineers, who review every AI-generated change and remain accountable for the result.

  • What do we own when the engagement is over?

    You own the source code and architecture documentation together with the test suites and deployment pipelines. We run knowledge-transfer sessions so your engineers can operate and extend the system on their own.
