Beyond Vibe Coding: Architecting Production-Ready 'Vibe DevOps'

The "Vibe Coding" Wall: When Prototyping Meets Production We’ve all been there. You’re in the flow, "vibe coding" a new feature with Cursor or Bolt. The frontend is snappy, the backend logic is solid, and everything works perfectly on localhost . Then comes the wall: Deployment. Suddenly, your "vibe" is killed by VPC configurations, IAM roles, Docker networking quirks, and the realization that docker-compose up isn't a production strategy. This article is for the senior engineer who needs to maintain that rapid development velocity without sacrificing the architectural integrity required for a high-scale production environment.
