Infrastructure for your Codex CLI app
AI tools often generate a frontend with a placeholder backend. You need a real database, proper authentication, email delivery, file storage, and API integrations. We set up production-grade infrastructure that's reliable, secure, and scalable. We specialize in Codex CLI projects and know exactly what to look for.
Infrastructure issues we find in Codex CLI apps
These are real infrastructure problems we see in Codex CLI projects during our audits.
API keys and secrets written directly into generated source files
Codex CLI generates code with placeholder credentials that developers often replace with real values inline, leaving secrets committed to version control. There is no .env scaffolding or secret management setup by default.
No authentication or authorization on generated API endpoints
When Codex generates Express or FastAPI backends, routes are created without middleware for authentication, meaning every endpoint is publicly accessible immediately after deployment.
No dependency management or package.json / requirements.txt generation
Codex outputs code that imports packages without generating the corresponding dependency manifest, so the generated code fails immediately on a fresh install until dependencies are manually identified and added.
What our infrastructure covers
Everything included when we infrastructure your Codex CLI project.
Database setup
Choosing the right database (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.), schema design, migrations, and connection management.
Authentication system
Email/password, OAuth (Google, GitHub), magic links, session management, and role-based access control.
API design
REST or GraphQL API structure, input validation, error handling, and documentation.
Email integration
Transactional emails (signup, password reset, notifications) with Resend, SendGrid, or Postmark.
File storage
Image uploads, document storage, CDN delivery with S3, Cloudflare R2, or Supabase Storage.
Third-party integrations
Stripe payments, webhook handling, external API connections, and service orchestration.

Frequently asked questions
Can you infrastructure a Codex CLI app?
Yes. We work with Codex CLI projects regularly and understand the specific patterns it produces. Our infrastructure service is tailored to address the issues common in Codex CLI-generated code.
What infrastructure issues are specific to Codex CLI?
Common infrastructure issues in Codex CLI apps include: api keys and secrets written directly into generated source files, no authentication or authorization on generated api endpoints, no dependency management or package.json / requirements.txt generation. We identify and fix all of these.
How long does a infrastructure take for a Codex CLI project?
Typically 2-5 business days depending on codebase size. Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs attention, then we'll scope the infrastructure work with a fixed quote.
Do I need a code audit before infrastructure for my Codex CLI app?
We recommend it. The audit ($19) gives us a complete picture of your Codex CLI project's issues so we can scope the infrastructure work accurately. You get a prioritized report and a fixed quote with no surprises.
