Bolt builds and runs full-stack apps right in the browser, which makes the first version very fast. Many Bolt apps use Supabase for the database and login, and deploy in one click.
What runs inside Bolt's in-browser environment doesn't always run the same way on a real server. Environment variables, server functions, routing and builds behave differently, and the code often carries half-finished changes from long prompting sessions.
The problems we look for first. Most apps have two or three of them.
Pages 404 on refresh, environment variables are missing, or server code that ran in the browser sandbox fails on the host.
The same gaps as most AI-built apps: tables without access rules, public storage, and keys that should never be in the browser.
Long prompting sessions leave duplicate components, unused files and features that were started but never wired up.
Auth redirects point at the wrong URL and payment webhooks have nowhere reliable to land.
Every change goes straight to the live site, so one bad prompt can take it down with no easy way back.
Review first, then a fixed quote, then the work, with a demo every week. How a rescue works
We export the project to GitHub and get it building the same way locally, in staging and in production, so it stops working only inside Bolt.
We fix the backend access rules, move secrets to the server, wire up login and payments end to end, and remove the dead code the prompts left behind.
We deploy it with a staging copy and a way to roll back, and document what we changed.
The same fixed prices for every Bolt app. The review ends with a fixed quote for anything bigger.
