I reviewed 14 Lovable/Bolt/Cursor MVPs in the last 6 weeks. Same 5 things are killing them in production
Summary
After reviewing 14 AI SaaS MVPs built with tools like Lovable, Bolt, and Cursor, the author identifies five common production failures: untested RLS policies, broken auth refresh flows, background jobs sharing the same connection pool, poorly designed schemas, and missing idempotency for payments/APIs. The fix is 2-3 weeks of targeted infrastructure work.
