Built a mvp / prototype with Continue?
We'll make it production-ready.
You built a prototype with an AI tool and it works — on your machine, with your test data, for the happy path. Now you need real users to validate your idea. The goal isn't perfection — it's getting to a state where real people can use it safely and reliably. That means fixing the critical gaps without over-engineering.
MVP / Prototype challenges in Continue apps
Building a mvp / prototype with Continue is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Identifying what actually needs fixing
Not everything needs to be production-grade for an MVP. The challenge is knowing which shortcuts are acceptable (visual polish, advanced features) and which aren't (security, data loss, broken core flows). Our audit prioritizes fixes by impact.
Security minimum
Even an MVP handles user data. You need authentication that works, data isolated per user, no exposed secrets, and HTTPS. You don't need enterprise-grade security, but you need the basics done right.
Deployment
Your app runs locally but deploying it involves environment variables, domain configuration, SSL, and build optimization. First-time deployment is where most AI prototypes hit unexpected issues.
Error handling
When something goes wrong (and it will), your users should see a helpful message — not a white screen or a raw error. Basic error handling is the difference between 'this app is buggy' and 'something went wrong, please try again.'
Core flow reliability
Your main user flow (signup → core action → outcome) must work every time. Edge cases in secondary flows can wait, but the core path needs to be solid for your MVP to generate valid learnings.
What we check in your Continue mvp / prototype
Common Continue issues we fix
Beyond mvp / prototype-specific issues, these are Continue patterns we commonly fix.
Model-dependent security quality
Security of generated code varies dramatically based on which LLM is connected. Some models produce much less secure code than others.
Inconsistent code patterns between models
Switching between models mid-project produces inconsistent patterns, naming conventions, and error handling approaches in the same codebase.
Context window limitations causing bugs
When the codebase exceeds the model's context window, Continue loses awareness of existing patterns and introduces contradictory code.
Missing performance best practices
Generated code often uses naive algorithms and data structures. Database queries, API calls, and data processing lack optimization.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a mvp / prototype with Continue?
Continue is a great starting point for a mvp / prototype. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but mvp / prototype apps have specific requirements — identifying what actually needs fixing and security minimum — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Continue leave in mvp / prototype apps?
Common issues include: model-dependent security quality, inconsistent code patterns between models, context window limitations causing bugs. For a mvp / prototype specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for identifying what actually needs fixing.
How do I make my Continue mvp / prototype production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Continue-built mvp / prototype apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Continue-built mvp / prototype?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger mvp / prototype projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
