10-point Launch Readiness Checklist for Vibe-coded SaaS
If 3+ items are unclear, get a pre-launch review before inviting real users.
1
Secrets are not in repo/client bundle
Check .env, Git history, frontend JS, deployment logs.
2
Auth/session edge cases are handled
Expired sessions, logout, role checks, direct URL access.
3
User data cannot be read by another user
Test object IDs, team/workspace boundaries, API endpoints.
4
Billing/webhook failures have a safe state
Failed payment, duplicate webhook, cancelled subscription, replayed event.
5
Dangerous actions have confirmation / undo / audit trail
Delete, bulk send, export, payment, external API calls.
6
Errors are visible to the operator
Logs, alerts, failed jobs, dead-letter queue or retry notes.
7
Deployment config is reproducible
README, required env vars, migrations, build command, rollback plan.
8
AI-generated code has ownership boundaries
Clear modules, no giant mystery functions, no duplicated business rules.
9
MVP has a failure-mode page
What happens if Stripe/API/email/DB fails? Write it down.
10
Founder can explain the top 5 risks
If you cannot explain the risk, you cannot responsibly launch.
