I have a genuine question and would appreciate your opinions and real-world experience.
I’ve built an academy website almost entirely using v0, and the site is already live and working. Only a few minor features are left.
My questions are:
If a website is generated mostly via v0, is there any real risk of data leakage, memory leaks, or sensitive information being exposed just because it was created with AI tools?
From an infrastructure and performance perspective, can a Vercel-hosted site like this realistically scale to handle high traffic, for example 100k–200k users, assuming proper backend and database setup?
I often hear developers say that “AI-built websites are unsafe, unreliable, will break anytime, or can’t scale because the tool ‘knows’ your project.”
From a technical standpoint, is this actually true, or is it more about misunderstanding how these tools work?
I’m not asking for help fixing anything — the site works — I’m just trying to understand the real technical risks vs myths around AI-assisted development.
Pretty much all websites are at risk of data leakage, memory leaks, or sensitive information being exposed to some degree, whether they were created with AI or not. No website is perfect. Sooner or later, someone will discover a CVE in some library you used, and you’ll have to update it (or tell v0 to update it); or you’ll find a security flaw in how something was designed, etc. However, AI is certainly notorious for being a bit less considerate on the security side of things than human developers. So definitely be careful. If you’re friends with any developers, maybe ask them to review it for you. If you’re processing passwords, sensitive user data, or payment info, absolutely have some developers take a look.
Yes, it can! Vercel is very scalable. I’m not sure if the free plan would cover your usage for 100k users (we’ll have to see what the team says about that), but Vercel shouldn’t have any trouble with that number of users.
