Data safety
The AI agent that shipped
your app can also delete it.
Vibe coding tools are good at producing a working app fast. They are not, by default, good at stopping an agent from running a destructive migration against your production database at 2am. Here's what that risk actually looks like, and what closes it.

Speed and safety trade off, quietly
Studies of AI-generated code have found OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities in a large share of samples, and hardcoded secrets committed straight to a repository are one of the most common findings. None of that is specific to any one tool; it's a side effect of optimizing for "it works" over "it's safe to run against real data." A schema migration or a bulk update prompted in plain English carries the same risk as one written by hand, except it's easier to approve without reading it closely.
The scenarios that actually happen
An agent asked to "clean up test data" deletes rows that weren't test data. A migration meant to rename a column drops and recreates it instead, losing what was in it. A missing Row Level Security policy lets one user's request touch another user's rows. None of these require malice, just a normal prompt and a normal amount of trust in the output.
What your safety net costs today
If your app runs on Supabase, the free tier has no daily backups at all. Production usually means the Pro plan, and Point-in-Time Recovery, if you want the ability to roll back to a specific moment rather than just the last daily snapshot, is a separate add-on priced at $100/month for seven days of coverage.
What KoedoDB includes by default
Every KoedoDB project, starting at $7/month, includes daily backups with seven-day retention and Point-in-Time Recovery: you can restore to any hourly point within the last seven days, instead of only the last daily backup. It won't stop an agent from writing a bad migration, but it means a bad migration is something you undo, not something you explain to your users.
A short checklist before you let an agent touch production
Run schema changes against a staging database first, not production. Read the migration an agent generates before approving it, especially anything with DROP, DELETE, or TRUNCATE. Confirm Row Level Security is enabled on every table that holds user data, not just the ones you remembered to check. And confirm, concretely, how far back you can actually restore, before you need to.
