Hi all 
Question, if let’s say, I make a website using Cursor and need to deploy to prod but not very familiar with what’s needed to ensure stability, scalability, moderate (well, ideally low) costs, which tools/services would you recommend? perhaps you know professionals/companies who help with that?
Merci!
Hi! Glad you came here to ask. Hosting costs depend heavily on the provider you choose. For example, Hostinger’s Business plans are usually around $4–$5/month when billed annually and provide enough resources for multiple Node.js applications. If you’re using modern JavaScript frameworks, I’d also look at Vercel, Render, or Netlify. They offer generous free tiers, automatic scaling, and direct GitHub deployments, which removes much of the hassle associated with traditional shared hosting.
For performance and stability, start with Google Lighthouse to measure page speed, SEO, and overall optimization. Then use Grafana K6 to perform load testing and determine how your application behaves under concurrent traffic. Regarding scalability, the most important factor is how the application is designed. While microservices are often discussed as the default solution, a well-structured monolith is typically the most practical and cost-effective approach for an initial launch. You can achieve significant scalability simply by optimizing your database and leveraging a CDN such as Cloudflare.
Security should also be part of the conversation from day one. Following the OWASP Top 10 recommendations will help mitigate common risks such as injection attacks and broken authentication. For deployments, I recommend adopting basic DevSecOps practices by automating security and functional testing through GitHub Actions before code reaches production.
As for finding professional help, it depends on your budget and goals. Since cost is a concern, traditional agencies may not be the best fit. Platforms such as Fiverr or Upwork are often a better option for finding specialized DevOps or cloud infrastructure freelancers who can help configure deployment pipelines, manage environment variables, and ensure everything runs smoothly without enterprise-level pricing.
PS: Sorry for my first response, after TMosh reply I realized you wanted a clearer answer. I’ve deployed a web app before, I’m not an expert but I have a bit of knowledge after failling a few times, if I could help you with anything let me know.
I understand your request is for expert advice, not just whatever an AI tool generates.
Yea, vibe coding is an easy part.
I guess no matter human it is or AI, nobody is ready to take responsibility to ensure that unknown code is going to work well in production.
There should be some "DevOps agent"s that can automate the daily routine of a SRE/system administrator, so if you have enough tokens to play that game (and solid backup routine), that may be the only tool that can help you today.
