The problem

You want to own your stack: move the frontend to Vercel, Cloudflare, or Netlify, migrate managed data to your own Supabase, run it locally, or hand it to a WordPress workflow. Forums are full of people discovering that 'export to GitHub' is not the same as 'ready to deploy.'

What you get

We run the full migration in the right order — stabilize, export, audit, rebuild infrastructure, cut over domains and data — so you end up owning a working app with no surprises.

What’s included

  • Migration plan and pre-flight audit (env, secrets, storage, auth, RLS)
  • Frontend migration to Vercel, Cloudflare, or Netlify
  • Managed data to your own Supabase: schema, RLS, triggers, storage, auth users
  • Local development environment setup
  • Custom-domain cutover and stopping preview-domain indexing
  • Post-migration verification: sign-in, payments, logs, rollback path
Typical timeline
Typically 1–3 weeks

Who this is for

  • Teams who want to own their stack — host the frontend and run their own Supabase
  • Founders who learned 'export to GitHub' isn't the same as 'ready to deploy'
  • Anyone moving to Vercel, Cloudflare, Netlify, their own Supabase, or local development

This isn’t the right fit if…

  • Teams happy to keep everything inside Lovable Cloud with no plans to self-host
  • Apps that are currently broken — stabilize with App Rescue before migrating

What a typical engagement looks like

  1. 1. Pre-flight audit

    We audit env vars, secrets, storage, auth, and RLS so we know exactly what has to move and in what order.

  2. 2. Export & rebuild infrastructure

    We get the code into GitHub and stand up the target infrastructure — your frontend host and your own Supabase project.

  3. 3. Migrate data & auth

    We move schema, migrations, RLS policies, triggers, storage, and auth users to your own Supabase, preserving who can access what.

  4. 4. Cutover & verify

    We cut over the custom domain, stop preview-domain indexing, then verify sign-in, payments, and logs — with a rollback path ready if anything looks off.

How we scope and price this

Every engagement is fixed-scope: we agree the scope on a free first call and send a firm number in writing before any work begins — so you never pay by the hour or burn more credits guessing. What the quote depends on:

  • How much managed data, auth, and storage has to move to your own Supabase
  • Which targets are involved (frontend host, database, custom-domain cutover, local env)
  • Whether the app needs stabilizing before the migration can start cleanly

How it works

  1. 01

    Book a free 30-min audit call

    Tell us what's broken or where you're stuck. You talk to a senior engineer — not a salesperson or a matcher.

  2. 02

    Diagnosis & fixed quote

    We diagnose the real root cause and send a clear, fixed-price scope. No vague hourly black holes, no surprise fees.

  3. 03

    We do the work

    The senior engineer who scoped it does the work, with you in the loop. Source code stays yours throughout.

  4. 04

    Ship, secure & hand over

    We ship it, harden it, and hand over a working, documented app — plus a written summary of what we did and why.

How we deliver — and what you can verify

  • We run the migration in a proven order — stabilize, export, pre-flight audit, rebuild infra, migrate data and auth, cut over domains — so auth, payments, and data keep working
  • Every migration includes post-migration verification: sign-in, payments, logs, and a documented rollback path
  • Done by a senior engineer who has moved Lovable apps off Lovable Cloud before — not a one-click export

How we handle your code, data & secrets

  • We take least-privilege, scoped access to both the source and the target projects — never your account password — and the repo, hosting, and Supabase ownership land in your accounts, not ours
  • Database dumps and the secrets we move during cutover travel over encrypted channels, and we recommend rotating credentials at handoff so the keys end the engagement under your control
  • Once you've verified the migrated app works, our access is revoked and every working copy and dump we held is deleted
  • NDA available on request; the whole point of the engagement is that you end up owning your stack outright

Frequently asked questions

Can I really move my app off Lovable?
Yes. Once your code is in GitHub you can host the frontend anywhere and run your own Supabase. The catch is order of operations — done wrong, you break auth, payments, or data. We do it in the proven sequence.
Will my data and users come across?
Yes. We migrate schema, migrations, RLS policies, triggers, storage, and auth users to your own Supabase project, then verify sign-in and payments before cutover.
Vercel, Cloudflare, or Netlify — which should I use?
It depends on your stack and budget; we recommend the best fit in the first call. All three are solid targets for a migrated Lovable frontend.
How much does it cost to migrate off Lovable?
It comes down to how much managed data, auth, and storage has to move to your own Supabase, and which targets are in play — frontend host, database, custom-domain cutover, local environment. If the app needs stabilizing before the migration can start cleanly, that adds to the work as well. The pre-flight audit is what pins these down precisely; see our cost guide or run the project cost estimator beforehand for a range.
How do you access my projects during the migration, and is it secure?
With least-privilege, scoped access to both source and target — never your password. Database dumps and secrets move over encrypted channels and are deleted after cutover, and our access is revoked once you've verified the migrated app. An NDA is available on request.
What if the migration fails or something breaks?
We migrate in a proven order and keep a documented rollback path, so your original Lovable app stays intact until the new environment is verified working. If a step doesn't pass verification we roll back rather than leave you with a half-migrated app — you're never stuck mid-cutover.
