Move a Lovable app to DigitalOcean App Platform
A practical, repository-first guide to moving a Lovable Vite or React application to DigitalOcean App Platform without silently copying production data, users, files or secrets.
stackferry field guides
App migration and portability guides
Practical, provider-neutral guidance for moving web apps to independently operated infrastructure.
A Lovable alternative for apps that are ready to grow up
Keep the app you built with Lovable while moving hosting, backend, domains and operations to infrastructure you control.
What does a vibe-coded app really cost to run?
Compare Lovable Cloud costs with independent hosting and PostgreSQL alternatives using realistic starting prices and a twelve-month cost model.
Move from Lovable without losing the app you already built
Plan a safe move from Lovable to independent hosting with repository inventory, backend assessment, verification and controlled cutover.
Move a Lovable app to Netlify with the backend kept explicit
A practical route for deploying a Lovable-built React app on Netlify while reviewing Supabase, auth, functions, redirects and domains separately.
Transfer a Supabase database without treating data like a build artifact
Plan a Supabase transfer across schema, RLS, auth, storage, functions and approved production data with verification and rollback boundaries.
Choose hosting for an AI-built app without replacing one lock-in with another
Compare hosting and backend options for AI-built apps across compatibility, ownership, cost, geography, operations and future portability.
Self-host a Lovable app with a plan for every managed dependency
Learn what Lovable self-hosting involves across GitHub code, frontend deployment, backend services, auth, storage, functions and operations.
App portability is a maintained capability, not a one-time export
Build app portability into code, data, identity, infrastructure and operations so an AI-built product can change providers without starting over.
Connect Lovable to GitHub, then take control of the whole app
Connect a Lovable project to GitHub, understand what the repository contains, and turn exported code into a verified deployment on infrastructure you own.
Lovable vs Replit: choose where to build, deploy and own the app
Compare Lovable and Replit for AI app building, GitHub workflows, deployment, backend portability and the path from a prototype to owned infrastructure.
Lovable vs Cursor: prompt-first building or repository-first development?
Compare Lovable and Cursor across app creation, repository workflows, developer control, deployment responsibility and production infrastructure ownership.
Lovable vs Base44: compare the fast path and the exit path
Compare Lovable and Base44 for AI app building, built-in hosting, GitHub or ZIP export, backend dependencies and long-term infrastructure control.
Lovable vs Bolt: compare building speed, GitHub and deployment control
Compare Lovable and Bolt for AI-assisted development, GitHub synchronization, hosting choices, backend setup and the path to independently operated infrastructure.
Lovable vs v0: compare complete app building with component-first generation
Compare Lovable and v0 across application scope, repository workflows, Vercel deployment, backend responsibility and long-term infrastructure portability.
Move a Lovable app to Vercel without losing the backend
Deploy a Lovable GitHub repository to Vercel while preserving environment variables, backend connectivity, authentication callbacks and production verification.
Move a Lovable backend to Supabase you control
Identify whether a Lovable app uses Lovable Cloud or customer-owned Supabase, then plan database, authentication, storage and environment migration safely.
Move a Lovable app to AWS with a least-privilege deployment route
Deploy a Lovable repository to AWS Amplify with customer-owned infrastructure, least-privilege access, environment configuration and backend verification.
Move a Lovable app to Cloudflare without treating every app as static
Deploy a Lovable GitHub repository to Cloudflare Pages or Workers with correct build settings, environment variables, backend connectivity and verification.
