Production Hardening
Make the MVP survive enterprise procurement, Series A technical DD, and the 50x traffic spike.
What we deliver in 8 weeks
The graduation engagement. Most AI startups ship their MVP in v0 / Cursor / Lovable / Bolt within a few weeks, then spend the next twelve months patching the gap between MVP and production. AppRocket's production hardening engagement compresses that twelve months into eight weeks. We replace the Google Sheet evaluation harness with one that survives enterprise procurement, build the MLOps stack that lets the on-call engineer sleep, document the architecture for the next CTO hire, and harden the security posture for SOC 2 readiness or Series A technical DD. Fixed price, with knowledge transfer baked into every deliverable so your in-house team owns the system after we leave.
Evaluation harness
The same harness AppRocket developed across 18 months running Casetrack. Continuous regression runs against your scenarios, attorney-graded ground truth (or domain-graded equivalent), drift detection, alerting.
MLOps stack
Model deployment pipelines, observability (Arize / Langfuse / OpenTelemetry), drift detection, A/B testing harness, on-call rotation tooling. Tuned to your foundation model contracts (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini).
Security and procurement readiness
Threat model, security review, SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness assessment. Tenant isolation review. Data flow audit. Pen-test prep.
Architecture documentation
Architecture decision records covering every meaningful technical choice, rationale, and the alternatives not picked. The deliverable that makes the next CTO hire easier.
On-call rotation + runbook
PagerDuty / Opsgenie integration, incident response runbook, SLO definitions, error budget tracking. Designed for your team to run after we leave.
What changes after the engagement
- MVP survives enterprise procurement and Series A technical DD
- In-house engineering owns the system after handoff
- 50x traffic spike absorbed without ops degradation
- Evaluation methodology you can defend to a sceptical investor
