PerfAI, the agentic AI platform revolutionizing developer workflows by securing and accelerating AI-generated applications, has been named Best in DevOps at the 2025 API Awards, the world's largest API and microservices conference, selected by over 400 industry advisors for its innovative solutions to vulnerabilities in rapidly built "vibe-coded" apps.
Vibe coding, a trend where developers use AI tools to generate code from natural language prompts without deep manual review, enables rapid app creation but introduces significant risks. PerfAI's research reveals that apps built with platforms like Replit, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude, WindSurf, Gemini, Lovable, and Codeium contain twice as many vulnerabilities and functional issues as traditionally coded software, including data leaks, broken authentication, and exploitable business logic flaws. These issues, often overlooked in fast-paced development, can result in costly breaches and operational downtime, as AI models trained on mixed datasets inadvertently replicate insecure patterns.
PerfAI acts as an essential safety net, allowing developers to secure apps effortlessly. A simple prompt like “Auto-test and auto-fix my apps for security and quality issues at myapp.replit.com” triggers over 1,000 automated tests, identifies critical flaws, and deploys instant fixes, reducing testing timelines from months to minutes. This agentic approach ensures vibe-coded apps launch reliably, maintaining the speed of AI-assisted development while mitigating risks that traditional pentesting and QA processes frequently miss.
PerfAI's effectiveness shines in practical applications. For a Copilot-generated app, the platform uncovered hundreds of critical issues across thousands of endpoints, such as exposed storage paths and flawed access controls, which evaded standard security reviews. In a large Replit-based project, PerfAI detected systemic data leaks and authentication failures, automatically remedying them to avert compliance violations. These examples demonstrate PerfAI's ability to handle the amplified risks in AI-generated code, where studies indicate over 40% of outputs contain security flaws, far exceeding manual coding rates.
Originally focused on SaaS testing, PerfAI now offers comprehensive full-stack evaluation tailored for AI-generated software, integrating seamlessly with leading coding assistants. This positions it as the ideal partner for developers building at scale, ensuring security without sacrificing velocity. Co-Founder & CEO at PerfAI commented: “Developers won’t have to choose between speed and safety. Their vibe-coded apps are tested for security vulnerabilities and quality issues, and then those issues are auto-fixed before every patch, every update, or deployment in general.”
By earning the Best in DevOps accolade at the 2025 API Awards, PerfAI validates its role in bridging the gap between innovative AI tools and robust security practices, empowering teams to ship secure, high-quality applications in an era of accelerated development.
PerfAI is an AI-native agentic testing platform built for modern development. It runs 1,000+ custom automated tests on applications, identifies critical vulnerabilities and functional flaws, and applies instant auto-fixes without engineering lift. PerfAI is trusted by teams building with Replit, Copilot, Cursor, Claude, WindSurf, Gemini, Lovable, and Codeium, ensuring that vibe-coded apps launch securely, reliably, and ready for scale.
