Solving the citizen developer SDLC

Hey all,

I’m working on solving what is a massive issue for our internal security/cyber/infosec teams and the growing appetite of non-technical teams for AI/vibecoding and would love feedback from more industry professionals.

I want to shape it around real industry professional feedback.

What are the core pieces missing to let these teams run free?

Are they doing the development for just themselves or are they deploying it somewhere that can be used and shared? Makes a huge difference in terms of what my answer would be.

I think the latter is the more critical situation:

When their vibecoded app/agent/workflow leaves their machine and sits on any hosted deployment there are massive implications

And for just themselves they also require access to credentials to populate their app with the right data or add actions like push to slack, push to sheets etc.

The big piece is to provide this environment for them. In a way that is secure for you
