Built with Cursor? Deploy it to AWS.
Step-by-step deployment help for Cursor-built apps on AWS. We fix deployment issues, configure AWS correctly, and get your app live in production. From $19.
Cursor issues we fix before deploying
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation that affect AWS deployments.
Exposed API keys in client code
Cursor often places sensitive keys and secrets directly in client-side components or .env files without the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix distinction, making them accessible in the browser.
Missing input validation on API routes
Server actions and API routes generated by Cursor frequently accept user input without sanitization or schema validation, opening the door to injection attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Cursor wraps code in try/catch inconsistently. Failed API calls, database queries, and file operations often crash the app silently or show raw error messages to users.
Race conditions in state management
Multiple rapid state updates or concurrent API calls cause stale data, UI flickers, and inconsistent behavior — especially in forms and real-time features.
AWS deployment issues we check for
Common AWS problems that break AI-generated apps in production.
IAM policies with wildcard permissions
AI-generated infrastructure code grants Action: '*' and Resource: '*' permissions, violating least-privilege principles and creating critical security exposure.
Security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0
Database and internal service security groups allow inbound traffic from any IP address, exposing RDS instances and backend services to the public internet.
S3 bucket policy allows public read
AI tools configure S3 buckets with public-read ACLs for convenience, inadvertently exposing private user data and application secrets.
Lambda cold starts degrading API performance
Infrequently called Lambda functions experience 3-10 second cold starts. AI-generated architectures don't configure provisioned concurrency or optimize bundle size.

Frequently asked questions
Can you deploy a Cursor-built app to AWS?
Yes. We regularly deploy Cursor-generated projects to AWS. We handle the platform-specific configuration, fix deployment errors, and ensure your app runs reliably in production on AWS.
What AWS issues do Cursor projects typically have?
Cursor projects commonly have exposed api keys in client code and missing input validation on api routes. When deploying to AWS, these combine with platform-specific issues like iam policies with wildcard permissions and security groups open to 0.0.0.0/0.
How do I get my Cursor project live on AWS?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of deployment blockers. For Cursor-built projects targeting AWS, the typical path is: fix Cursor-specific code issues, configure AWS settings correctly, then deploy. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
Can you handle the full deployment of my Cursor app to AWS?
Yes. We handle end-to-end deployment: auditing your Cursor codebase, fixing deployment blockers, configuring AWS correctly, setting up environment variables, and getting your app live in production. Start with our code audit ($19).
