What You'll Learn

In this lesson, you'll learn how to turn your vibe coded demo into a real, working app with authentication, payment processing, and data storage using the Memberstack MCP.

The Memberstack MCP makes it incredibly easy to add production-ready features without writing complex backend code.

Why This Matters

Vibe coding an app is one thing—managing it is completely different.

Auth can create security issues. One misconfiguration and your users' data is at risk.

Payments are the heart of your business. Get them wrong and you lose revenue or worse, customer trust.

Databases are where everything lives. If you've never heard the term "RLS" (Row Level Security) in your entire life, you're not alone—but that doesn't mean your app should be vulnerable.

Memberstack is made for anyone, including people who don't want to become database experts or security specialists. By using Memberstack instead of creating your own system for these things, you won't just save time—you'll be able to manage your business with confidence.
