Move the part of Lovable you have outgrown.
You do not have to replace your entire stack to change where it runs. We help you move frontend hosting, migrate a Lovable Cloud backend or take over the whole application, with developer review of the code, data and services affected. Keep useful tooling where it still fits.
Code ownership and operational control are different.
Lovable supports code export and independent frontend and backend hosting choices. A migration is therefore not a fee to acquire code you already own. It is engineering work to make the chosen deployment operate correctly: identities, records, files, functions, integrations, release processes and ongoing maintenance included in the agreed scope.
What you get.
Frontend-only migration
Move hosting while retaining the existing backend when that solves the actual requirement. We check the project's framework and build output, environment variables, routes, custom domain and authentication redirects. Keeping the backend means its access rules and billing do not disappear.
Lovable Cloud backend migration
Move the relevant data and services into a separately controlled backend, often a managed Supabase project where appropriate. The scope includes schema, records, auth, storage, functions and external connections. A database copy alone is not equivalent to moving all of those services.
A full application handover
Where required, move the frontend and backend and establish development, release and operational ownership. The editor is a separate choice from hosting. We document what can continue through Git-based workflows and what changes when platform-managed features are replaced.
Infrastructure options with tradeoffs
Managed Supabase reduces some operational work. Self-hosted Supabase requires patching, backups, monitoring and recovery ownership. A custom backend or plain Postgres needs replacements for application services it does not supply. We recommend the smallest architecture that meets the requirements.
Data, access and integration checks
We map identities and foreign keys, verify representative records and files, and test allowed and denied access. OAuth callbacks, webhooks, scheduled work and provider secrets are checked separately. Credentials are transferred through an agreed secure process, never a public quote form.
A tested cutover plan
We rehearse the migration, define the handling of new writes and agree the production switch and rollback criteria. Recovery must account for data created after cutover. We hand over account ownership, deployment instructions and the agreed support responsibilities.
How it works.
- 01
Choose the boundary
We establish whether the problem is hosting, backend control, product requirements or the development workflow. Migration is one option; changing configuration or staying on the current platform may be sufficient.
- 02
Inspect the actual project
We identify the framework and current services from the repository and configuration. Newer and older Lovable projects can differ, so an old Vite tutorial is not assumed to describe your app.
- 03
Rehearse and compare
We migrate into an isolated target and run agreed data, identity, file and integration checks. Any user reauthentication or feature replacement is made explicit before release.
- 04
Cut over and transfer responsibility
We coordinate the final synchronization, traffic switch and post-release checks. The result includes an operational handover, not merely a link to a new deployment.
Common questions.
- Can I move only the frontend?
- Yes, where compatible with the actual project. Lovable documents independent hosting choices. A frontend move can retain the existing backend, but auth redirects, configuration and deployed behaviour still need checking.
- Can I leave Lovable Cloud but keep using the editor?
- Development tooling and backend hosting are separate decisions. We assess the supported workflow for your app, including Git synchronization and any managed features that need replacements. We do not assume all editor features remain identical after a backend move.
- Do I need to rewrite my app in Next.js?
- No. We check the existing framework first. Next.js is one possible target when its capabilities solve a specific requirement, not a prerequisite for code ownership, security or search visibility.
- Will every user stay logged in?
- Authentication transfer and session continuity depend on the current and target systems. We verify supported options, identity mappings and provider configuration, then agree any re-login or reset journey.
- What is included in the price?
- The written scope identifies the components moving, acceptance checks, cutover responsibilities and support window. Function complexity, integrations, auth and data requirements determine the quote. Ongoing infrastructure charges and additional feature work are separate.
