Demo-vs-Production Gap Check
Score your production readiness in 3 minutes.
Most demos look great. Most production systems don't. Answer 10 yes/partly/no questions and we'll name the specific gaps between what you showed and what will survive real users.
1.Does the system have real authentication and authorisation?
Not a hardcoded login. Role-based access, session management, token expiry.
2.Are errors handled gracefully and logged centrally?
Users see a useful message. Engineers see a stack trace with context.
3.Is the database using real data — not seed data or mocks?
The system has been tested with production-scale or near-production data.
4.Has it been tested under realistic concurrent load?
Not just one user. The number of users you expect in the first month.
5.Is there a repeatable, automated deployment process?
CI/CD pipeline. Not 'someone SSHes in and runs a script'.
6.Is there uptime monitoring and alerting in place?
You find out the system is down before your users do.
7.Are backups automated and have you tested a restore?
A backup you haven't restored is a backup you don't have.
8.Are secrets (API keys, DB passwords) stored securely?
Not in the codebase, not in .env files committed to git.
9.Is there enough documentation for a second engineer to onboard?
Architecture, setup, deployment, and the non-obvious decisions.
10.Can you roll back a bad deployment in under 15 minutes?
The plan exists, has been tested, and doesn't require a hero.
