What are Bubble security best practices?

Short Answer

Key Bubble security practices: enable database security, use environment variables for secrets, add security headers, and scan before launch.

Detailed Answer

Follow these Bubble security best practices:

**1. Database Security** Enable and configure Row Level Security (Supabase) or Security Rules (Firebase). Test by querying as an unauthenticated user.

**2. Secret Management** Never hardcode API keys. Use environment variables and keep secrets server-side only.

**3. Authentication Hardening** - Require email verification - Set minimum password requirements - Implement rate limiting

**4. Security Headers** Configure CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and other headers in your hosting platform.

**5. Regular Scanning** Use VAS to scan your app before launch and after major changes.

Expert Perspectives

There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding', where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.

Vibe coding your way to a production codebase is clearly risky. Most of the work we do as software engineers involves evolving existing systems, where the quality and understandability of the underlying code is crucial.
