Cost
Your backend bill keeps growing, but moving looks more expensive than staying.
Backend migration + production readiness
Take back control of your vibe-coded app. Get it ready for real users.
Move the backend to infrastructure you control. Fix security, permissions, integrations, and reliability gaps. Or do both without rebuilding the app from scratch.
Built with
Lovable · Bolt · Replit · Base44 · other builders
Move to
Your own Supabase · Cloudflare · Claude or any LLM · custom backend
Ship ready
Reviewed code · locked-down access · production-ready setup
What we do
We separate the app you built from the backend you were given.
You keep the product your users already know. We handle the technical work behind the move and give you a backend setup you can understand, maintain, and change again later.
The problem
The app works. The backend is holding it back.
Vibe-coding platforms choose and manage the backend for you. That makes it easy to start. Later, the same setup can cost too much, limit what you build, or keep you tied to a platform you have outgrown.
Control
Your vibe-coding platform chose the backend before you knew what your product would need.
Limits
A provider limit is shaping your roadmap, pricing, or the features you can ship.
Compliance
Your app handles sensitive data, but the current backend does not meet the privacy, security, data residency, or audit requirements you need.
Risk
You know a move makes sense. You do not know how to make it without breaking a working app.
Not ready
It works as a demo. Real users need security, permissions, and reliability the platform may not have set up.
The whole backend
Moving the database alone is not enough.
Real apps depend on more than rows in a table. We trace every backend dependency and move the pieces together.
Database
Your tables, relationships, indexes, and existing records.
Users
Accounts, login flows, sessions, roles, and access rules.
Files
Uploads, storage paths, permissions, and delivery URLs.
Backend logic
Functions, webhooks, secrets, and outside services.
App code
Every query and connection that needs to point somewhere new.
Production ready
Moving it is half the job. Ready is the other half.
Keep the current backend, move it, or do both. We review what real users will depend on and complete the production work we agree on with you.
MoveMake readyBoth
Access rules
We check database permissions, roles, and row-level security so the right people can see the right data.
Code review
We review the queries, functions, and application logic created during the build, then fix the issues in scope.
Secrets & connections
We secure API keys, AI services, webhooks, and third-party calls so sensitive credentials stay out of the frontend.
Reliability
We put error handling, backups, monitoring, and a rollback plan around the flows your users depend on.
Sensitive data
We help you build a setup you control and document the technical decisions that support your privacy and compliance work.
How it works
One clear process. Move it, make it ready, or do both.
We map the current app, agree on the scope, and protect what already works before making changes.
- 01
We inspect the app
You share the project and current setup. We map its dependencies and review what it needs for production.
- 02
We define the work
We agree on the migration, production-readiness fixes, or both. That includes scope, risks, cutover, and rollback.
- 03
We move it, make it ready, or both
We migrate the backend, fix the production gaps, or complete both parts based on the scope you approved.
- 04
We test, document, and hand it back
We verify the flows that matter, document every change, and give you the handoff and production-readiness findings.
Before we start
Questions worth asking
How much does it cost?
Most Vibe Unlock projects cost between $300 and $2,000. The exact price depends on the app's size, current backend, data, users, integrations, and whether you need migration, production-readiness work, or both. We review your setup and provide a fixed quote before any paid work begins. Larger or unusually complex projects may be quoted separately.
Is my vibe-coded app production ready?
A working demo is not automatically ready for real users. Production readiness depends on the code, access controls, data handling, secrets, integrations, backups, monitoring, and failure paths. We review the actual app, identify the gaps, and fix the agreed issues rather than relying on the builder it came from.
Can you make my app production ready without moving the backend?
Yes. You can hire us for production-readiness work, a backend migration, or both. If the current platform prevents an important fix, we will explain that before work begins and recommend the smallest sensible change.
Does this make my app HIPAA or GDPR compliant?
No technical project alone can certify legal compliance. Moving the backend can give you control over hosting, data access, and service-provider choices, and we can implement the technical safeguards included in your scope. You still need your own legal and organizational review for requirements such as HIPAA or GDPR.
Can I switch the backend of a vibe-coded app?
Usually, yes. The work depends on how the builder connected your frontend to its database, authentication, storage, and server functions. We inspect those dependencies before planning the move.
Am I stuck with the backend that Lovable gave me?
No. A Lovable app can be moved into your own Supabase project or another backend account you control. The migration needs to cover the data and every service the app expects from its current setup.
Can I move my Lovable app to my own Supabase project?
Yes. A complete move can include the database schema, records, authentication setup, storage objects, policies, Edge Functions, secrets, and the frontend connection settings.
Where can I move the backend?
The destination can be your own Supabase or Firebase project, Cloudflare, Google Cloud, a custom backend, or another provider chosen around your product. The important part is that the new setup belongs to you and fits what the app needs.
Can I switch backends without rebuilding my frontend?
In many cases, yes. We preserve the existing frontend and replace or adapt the code that talks to the backend. The inspection shows whether any feature is too tightly coupled to move unchanged.
What happens to my existing users and passwords?
User accounts can usually be migrated, but password portability depends on the source and destination authentication systems. Some moves preserve sign-in while others require a password reset. We identify that before cutover.
Do uploaded images and files move too?
Yes. Storage files, bucket rules, file paths, and delivery URLs are included when the app depends on them. Moving database records alone would leave those files behind.
What happens to RLS policies, Edge Functions, and secrets?
They are reviewed separately from the database records. Access policies are recreated for the destination, functions are moved or rewritten, and secrets are configured without exposing them to the frontend.
Can I keep using Lovable after moving the backend?
Sometimes. It depends on the destination and how the project is connected. If continuing to edit in Lovable matters to you, we include that requirement in the migration plan before making changes.
Can you migrate apps built with Bolt, Replit, Base44, or other builders?
Yes. Vibe Unlock is not limited to Lovable. We review the exported code, current backend, hosting, and integrations to determine what can move and what needs to be replaced.
How do you prevent downtime or data loss during a backend migration?
The plan covers backups, test migrations, verification, the final data cutoff, and a rollback path. The exact approach depends on whether the app is live and how frequently its data changes.
Do I need to know which backend I want?
No. We can review your usage, budget, product needs, and ownership goals before recommending a destination.
Move it. Strengthen it. Ship it.
