My Bolt app has never successfully deployed. Can you still help?

Yes — that's actually one of the more common requests. We deploy it ourselves, log the real failure, and fix it rather than guessing from a description.

Do you need my Bolt.new account?

No. We work from your exported code and your hosting/database accounts. If it isn't in a Git repo yet, getting it there is the first step.

Can you also add features, not just fix the deploy?

Yes — once it's deployed reliably, new feature work runs the same as any other project, scoped and quoted upfront.

What hosting do you recommend once it's fixed?

Depends on the stack — Vercel or Netlify for most frontends, Railway or Render for backends needing a persistent server. We'll recommend based on what you already have, not a default answer.

Bolt.new rescue

Fix a Broken Bolt.new App

Bolt.new is built for fast in-browser iteration. The gap shows up at deploy time — a build that runs perfectly in the Bolt preview can fail entirely once it hits a real host, a real domain, and real environment variables.

Sound familiar?

What's actually going wrong

The specific symptoms we see most often.

Works in preview, fails in production

The in-browser WebContainer environment Bolt runs on doesn't always match your actual deploy target, so a working preview is no guarantee of a working build.

Failed or partial deploys

The build succeeds locally but the deployed version 404s on routes, serves stale assets, or fails silently with no clear error in the host's logs.

CORS errors after going live

API calls that worked in the sandboxed preview get blocked once your frontend and backend are on separate real domains with no CORS config to allow it.

Environment variable mismatches

Keys and URLs baked in during preview don't carry over automatically, so the deployed app quietly points at the wrong API, database, or third-party service.

Dependencies that behave differently outside the sandbox

A package that works in Bolt's constrained environment can behave differently — or fail to install at all — on a standard Node hosting environment.

Why this happens

Bolt.new runs your app in an in-browser sandbox (WebContainers), which is genuinely impressive for instant iteration but is not the same runtime as your production host. Anything sensitive to Node version, filesystem behavior, or real network CORS rules can pass in the sandbox and fail the moment it's deployed for real.

The fix is rarely a rewrite — it's usually a short list of deploy-specific issues: environment variables, CORS headers, and build configuration that were never verified outside the sandbox because there was never a reason to until now.

What we do about it

Reproduce the deploy on your actual target host

We build and deploy it ourselves so we see the real error, not a secondhand description of one.

Fix environment and CORS configuration

Correct environment variables per environment, and CORS headers set on the actual backend serving your API.

Resolve dependency and build issues

Anything that behaved differently outside the sandbox gets pinned, patched, or replaced.

Confirm a clean deploy end to end

Fresh install, fresh deploy, real domain — checked before we call it fixed.
