Lovable to AWS
Move a Lovable app to AWS with a least-privilege deployment route
AWS provides many possible architectures. For a Lovable web app, the safest first route is usually a narrowly scoped managed deployment rather than an open-ended cloud redesign.
- Use the exported GitHub repository as deployment input
- Connect stackferry through a customer-owned least-privilege role
- Keep frontend deployment separate from database migration
Choose an AWS product before estimating the move
AWS Amplify Hosting can connect a Git repository, build the application and publish branch deployments. Container workloads or complex server requirements may instead need ECS Fargate, but that is a different cost and operational model.
stackferry's standard AWS web route targets Amplify when the repository is compatible. The assessment should stop or recommend another provider when the application requires unsupported runtime behavior.
Keep AWS access customer-owned and narrow
A production integration should not ask the customer for broad long-lived administrator credentials. stackferry uses a generated external ID and a customer IAM role with only the actions required by the supported deployment adapter.
The central stackferry identity assumes that role temporarily. The role ARN, region, account and connection status belong to the customer integration record.
Price and verify every attached service
Amplify hosting, build minutes and transfer are usage-based. An RDS database, object storage, email, logs and networking create separate AWS line items. The stackferry estimate is a planning range, not an AWS quote.
Before cutover, verify the build, environment variables, public URL, TLS, redirects and backend connectivity. Production data moves only through the selected database, auth and storage adapters.
Frequently asked questions
Does stackferry deploy every Lovable app to AWS?
No. The repository must match a supported AWS execution route. Unsupported runtime requirements stop before payment.
Does the customer provide AWS access keys?
The intended customer integration uses a least-privilege IAM role and generated external ID rather than broad customer access keys.
Is AWS Amplify the same as moving to RDS?
No. Amplify is the web deployment route. RDS or Aurora is a separate backend destination with its own provisioning, migration and cost.
Can I keep Supabase while hosting on AWS?
Yes, when the application can reach the existing Supabase backend and its security and regional requirements are acceptable.
How much will AWS cost?
The bill depends on build time, hosting, transfer and attached services. stackferry shows a planning range and links to official AWS pricing before the port.
