I used v0 for a vibe coded internal admin app.

*BUT* I downloaded the source code from Vercel’s site, built and deployed in a Docker container (I never download random npm packages to my local computer), deployed the Docker container to Lambda (choose your Docker deployment platform. They are a dime a dozen), had a tightly scoped IAM role attached to the Lambda and my secrets were in Secret Manager.

My deployment also had a placeholder for the secrets when it was deployed and they were never in my repo and purposefully had to be manually configured.

I would never trust something like Vercel for hosting. I’m not saying go all in on a major cloud provider. Get your own cheap VPS if that’s all you need and take responsibility for your own security posture the best you can.
