Key Points
- Many AI app builders focus on rapid iteration (schema changes and instant redeploys), which can create serious production issues once the app grows beyond small usage.
- The article highlights three common bottlenecks: loss of infrastructure/data ownership, lack of safe deployment practices like rollback and staging, and vendor lock-in that makes migration difficult.

- Instead of abandoning AI builders, the proposed approach is to pair them with a dedicated deployment layer that handles migration to real infrastructure and adds rollback, deployment history, and compliance support (e.g., SOC 2).
