AI Server Management, AI-Handoff creation, Deployment and backup tool - Now I’m getting cold feet before beta testing (UK) Advise greatly appreciated

A developer is seeking advice on risk reduction before beta testing an AI server management, AI-Handoff creation, deployment, and backup tool in the UK. They have focused on hardening their privacy policy, terms and conditions, and beta agreement to ensure a responsible release. The project is self-funded, limiting their ability to invest heavily in pentesting at this stage, and they are looking for insights from others who have released similar technical projects.
Hi all,
I’ve been building a complete Ubuntu server management software for some time now. Full disclosure, I have used AI extensively to code but I have engineered and been the systems architect - this is NOT a quickly thrown together “AI slop” project.
The tool essentially auto-installs on a fresh Ubuntu server from your account on my website, it acts as a full server manager. It can give a very detailed handoff link to an AI of your choice, giving it instructions of how to safely build the project with you and giving it read only access to the initial files it needs in the new project.
It has a project deployer, to take care of everything from downloading the stack to configuring and launching.
It has a full backup client that you can install on a separate server (or as many as you choose) that keeps a fully encrypted full site backup of your build/data.
I genuinely haven’t seen another product that does the same thing and I’m really excited to get it tested. I just want to be responsible and I’m just super nervous.
I have the company registered, I’ve registered with the ICO, paid the fee.
I’m literally right next to being ready to press the button and open Beta testing for the initial few to try the product.
The issue is. I’ve suddenly become really anxious about releasing the project. I’m contemplating bringing a CTO co-founder on board on an equity basis for that piece of mind and to assist me with what has become a great but complex piece of machinery.
Has anybody else been through this?
How did you handle risk reduction? I’ve done everything that I can think of and hardened my privacy policy, T&C’s, Beta agreement. All of the things that I can think of to release this responsibly.
I guess I just thought that I’d see if anybody else has released a technical project such as this. It’s entirely self funded, so I can’t really spend thousands at this point on pentesting.
