Idea to Prototype
Gaps in Vibe Coding
- Not scalable
- Hassle between multiple vendors and bills
- No architectural freedom
- No Authentication
- Limited backend and storage
Once you start adding storage, authentication, and AI capabilities to your app, fragmented tools, missing backend, and scaling challenges slow you down and put your users at risk.
The pain: Why developers move off AI builder
Fragmented stack and multiple billsThe solution: Move to Catalyst
Agent-ready full-stack cloudPrototype ≠ Production
