A pre-launch checklist for your own app

35 concrete checks to run before you ship — RLS, secrets, CORS, billing caps, GDPR — each linked to the lesson behind it. Tick them off, track your readiness, keep it for the next project. The part you actually keep using.

Open the checklist
  • ✓RLS on every table, service key server-side
  • ✓Secrets out of the client and git history
  • ✓Billing caps before you share the link
  • ✓A real deletion path for GDPR
