Uptime SLA
The gap
AI tools let anyone ship a prototype in a weekend. But the demo that wowed investors is one exposed API key away from a breach, one traffic spike away from downtime, and one GDPR complaint away from a fine.
That last 20% — security, scale, compliance, uptime — is the hard part. It is also the part we do, on a fixed price, with the liability on us.
1 in 5
vibe-coded apps expose user data — exposed secrets, open databases, no auth. Wiz Research, 2025
API keys and tokens shipped in the client bundle, readable by anyone.
Admin routes and databases left open — “it worked in the demo”.
No caching, no rate limits, cold starts and runaway AI bills.
User data in the wrong region, no consent, PII in plaintext logs.
One bad deploy or dropped table away from losing everything.
It breaks at 2am and there is no monitoring, no SLA, no one watching.
The Rescue
A fixed, three-stage path. No open-ended hourly contracts, no surprises. You always know the next number before you commit to it.
We open the hood before anyone commits to a number.
€1,500
fixed · credited toward go-live
We fix what the audit found and put it under our control.
from €4,500
flat fee · your €1,500 audit credited
We host it, watch it, patch it — and hold the liability.
from €290
per month · the part nobody else offers
You keep the code and the IP. We hold the risk. Start with the audit — it is credited toward go-live if you proceed.
Our guarantee
Fixed price, not open hours
You get a flat quote from the audit. No meter running, no surprise invoice.
You own the code & IP — always
Fully documented. Walk away and take everything with you whenever you choose.
We hold the liability
Austrian framework, EU/GDPR standards, a contractual SLA. If it breaks, it’s our problem.
Audit fee credited to go-live
Start with a low-risk fixed-fee audit. Proceed, and it comes off the price.
Stage 3 · Ongoing
The part most agencies won't touch. Every plan bundles managed hosting plus a block of development & support hours — pick a tier when you go live, change it any time as you grow.
Live MVPs & early traction
2 hrs support & minor fixes / month · rollover up to 2×
Revenue-generating products
6 hrs development & support / month · rollover up to 2×
Mission-critical platforms
Dedicated reserved development & on-call hours / month
All tiers include EU hosting and our operational liability cover. Unused hours roll over; larger feature work is scoped separately — you never pay a retainer for work that isn't happening.
Questions
A working demo and a production system are different things. Vibe-coded apps routinely ship with exposed API keys, no auth boundaries, no backups, no monitoring, and hosting that falls over under real traffic. The audit tells you exactly where you stand — with no obligation to continue.
Because we underwrite what we ship. Quoting a flat go-live price blind would mean padding it heavily to cover the unknowns. The fixed-fee audit lets us give you an honest flat quote — and the audit fee is credited toward go-live if you proceed.
No. You own the code and the IP throughout. We operate the infrastructure so you get the SLA and liability cover — and you can take everything with you, fully documented, whenever you choose.
Keeping the lights on: hosting, uptime, backups, security patches, and guaranteed response times. New features are scoped separately so you are never paying a retainer for work that is not happening.
