Cursor → production

What is Cursor?

Code-owned applications requiring an explicit production stack. Cursor uses Any framework as its primary stack, with Your choice for backend services.

Production Checklist for Cursor

Every Cursor app needs these production essentials before going live:

1. Code ownership: Export your code to a GitHub repository you control
2. Environment variables: Move all secrets out of client code
3. Database migrations: Set up versioned schema changes
4. Authentication: Configure OAuth callbacks for your production domain
5. Monitoring: Add error tracking before your first real user
6. Backups: Enable automated backups and test restore

Common Cursor Production Mistakes

• Leaving code only in the builder's platform with no export
• Using builder-provided URLs instead of owning your domain
• Not separating preview and production environments
• Skipping webhook verification for payments
• Forgetting to add monitoring before launch
