The day in the life of a vibe-coded app.
Someone on your team built a tool with AI last night, and it's genuinely good. The next five minutes decide whether it becomes a win or the next incident — depending on whether they bring it here or to a personal hosting account. Watch it happen, minute by minute.
Minute 0 · Bring it
Drop the export. That's the whole onboarding.
A ZIP export from Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or Cursor. A GitHub repo. A container image. Every path leads into the exact same pipeline — there is no side door, and nothing to install.
Deploy a new app

Minute 2 · The catch
This is the moment ArkHaven pays for itself.
The export had a live payment key sitting in the code — the single most common cause of real-world breaches. On a personal hosting account, that key goes public. Here, the deploy stops, the builder gets a ~3-minute guided fix, and IT sees the catch in the audit log. Nobody gets yelled at. The company doesn't make the news.
Minute 5 · Live
A company URL, locked behind your SSO.
The app goes live on your ArkHaven subdomain — private by default, visible only to signed-in teammates. The builder gets the win (and a grade to chase). IT gets an app they can see, govern, and stand behind. Public is possible — but it's IT's call, by policy, never an accident.

Forever · Governed
One dashboard. Every app. No surprises.
What's running, who owns it, what it costs, how secure it is — and the policies keeping it that way. Apps are re-checked on a schedule even when nobody deploys, budgets enforce themselves without killing running apps, and every decision lands in an audit trail. This is what "shadow IT" looks like after it comes home.
Two people, one deploy
The same five minutes, from both sides.
Shadow IT happens because the builder and the IT team want opposite things. ArkHaven is the rare deploy where both of them walk away happy — and that's the entire reason it works.
The builder
The person who built it
Got a real, live URL on company infrastructure — today, no ticket, no week-long wait. A grade to chase instead of a 40-page report nobody reads. Their lunch-break project is suddenly something they can show the whole team — and IT is glad they shipped it, not annoyed they did.
The approver · IT
The person who has to approve it
Got an app they can actually see — scanned and graded before it ran, locked behind SSO, sitting in an audit trail — instead of meeting it for the first time during an incident. They got to say yes to their team without lying awake about it.
That's the trick: the builder thinks they got their way. So does IT. They both did.

"The tools your employees love stopped being a security problem the day there was a governed place to ship." — the ArkHaven thesis
