Deployment walkthroughs, performance tips, and how to get the most out of AI-built apps on Jetpacked.
AI coding tools are remarkably good at writing software. They are not trained on what that software needs to run in production. These are the patterns that show up most often and break deployments in specific, predictable ways.
Thomas·2026-06-01 Read guide Running your dev command in production is one of the most common mistakes that makes apps work but run badly. Here is the difference between building and starting, and why it matters.
Thomas·2026-06-01Your app starts, the logs look fine, but the platform says it is not responding. The cause is almost always the same. Here is what is happening and how to fix it in under a minute.
Thomas·2026-06-01You built it in Cursor. It runs. Now you need to get it online. This is the complete walkthrough, from what Cursor typically produces to a live URL with a real database and a real domain.
Thomas·2026-06-01Missing environment variables crash apps loudly. Wrong ones cause failures that are much harder to diagnose. Here are the patterns that show up most often and how to catch them before your users do.
Thomas·2026-06-01Framework documentation is written for developers, not for servers. The gap between "how to get started" and "how to run this in production" is where most first deployments fail.
Thomas·2026-06-01Prisma, Drizzle, and TypeORM each have their own migration system and their own ways to fail in production. Here is what goes wrong with each one and how to recover.
Thomas·2026-06-01AI coding tools are not trying to make deployment harder. But the way they work produces patterns that create consistent friction at deployment time. Understanding why makes it easier to work around.
Thomas·2026-06-01We have redesigned how Jetpacked pricing works. Instead of paying for an account plan, you now pay per project. Each project gets its own slot with its own resources and billing. Here is what changed and why.
Thomas·2026-05-29Three infrastructure upgrades landed this week. Your app gets persistent storage, nightly encrypted backups, and every build now runs on its own isolated machine.
Thomas·2026-05-27Prisma migrations work perfectly in development. Then you deploy and everything breaks. Here is why production is a different beast, and what to do about it.
Thomas·2026-05-21Leaked API keys are one of the most common and costly mistakes in software development. Here is how it keeps happening and how to actually stop it.
Thomas·2026-05-19You send the link to a friend. They say it doesn't work. You open it and it works fine. Here is what is actually going on.
Thomas·2026-05-14Your app worked perfectly in Cursor, Replit or on your local machine. Then you put it online and everything started falling apart. Here are the most common reasons why.
