Lovable to Production
Migrating Lovable.dev apps to your own stack with real security
Lovable.dev is great for a fast prototype, but production rollout hits walls: permissive Supabase RLS, exposed env vars, lock-in to generated patterns, and missing payments and observability. We migrate Lovable apps onto a maintainable stack and harden them.
Lovable.dev can generate a full app with a Supabase backend in a day. Unfortunately it's locked into a template, uses permissive RLS rules, exposes env vars to the client, and has no production-grade integrations. We migrate Lovable apps to a maintainable stack in 4-8 weeks.
The audit starts with a walkthrough of the generated code, RLS rules, and Supabase schema. In 80% of audits we find at least one security issue: an exposed API key, an insert allowed for the anon role, or a missing auth check on a sensitive endpoint. We cost both scenarios, hardening the Lovable version, or full migration to Nuxt 3/Next.js with your own backend. Migration preserves what works: UI components, business logic, and the database schema. We only rewrite parts that block further growth, permissive auth, template payments, vendor lock-in. We integrate Stripe properly with webhooks, idempotent operations, and subscription management. We add Sentry for errors, Axiom/Logflare for logs, and an uptime monitor for availability. A CI/CD pipeline with preview deploys and a staging environment makes development independent of the Lovable platform. Cutover is planned with a monitored hour, we have a rollback plan for every phase.
- Lovable project audit focused on permissive RLS and exposed secrets
- Migration to Nuxt 3 or Next.js while preserving UI, business logic, and DB schema
- Proper Stripe integration with webhooks and idempotent operations
- CI/CD pipeline and staging environment for independence from Lovable
What's included
What You Get
Lovable project audit
We walk through the generated code, Supabase schema, RLS rules, exposed env vars, and assess migration scope.
Tight RLS and row-level auth
We rewrite permissive Supabase RLS rules, add row-level authorization, and test that no user can reach another user's data.
Migration to your own stack
When needed, we migrate the Lovable app to Nuxt 3 or Next.js with a proper backend. We keep the UI, business logic, and DB schema.
Stripe and payments
We implement proper Stripe integration with webhooks, subscription management, and idempotent operations. No more Lovable template payments.
Observability and monitoring
Sentry for errors, Logflare/Axiom for logs, uptime monitor for availability. You actually see what production is doing.
CI/CD and staging
GitHub Actions, preview deploys, staging environment. Development is independent of the Lovable platform.
Perfect for
Perfect for
- Founders with a Lovable MVP ready for their first paying customers
- Teams who've outgrown Lovable and need their own stack
- Companies with a Lovable app that wouldn't pass a security audit
- Products where the Lovable template is blocking competitive differentiation
Our Process
How We Work
Audit
Map the generated code, RLS rules, Supabase schema, and integrations. 3-5 days.
Migration plan
Decide: stay on Lovable with tighter rules, or migrate to your own stack. We cost both scenarios.
Implementation
Migrate or refactor incrementally. We keep the working Lovable version live until the new one is fully ready.
Cutover and handoff
Data migration, DNS switch, monitored hour, documentation, handoff.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on your needs. If the Lovable template is enough and you only want security, we recommend hardening. If you need custom logic, custom integrations, or higher performance, migration is the better investment.
We keep Supabase or migrate to Postgres based on preference. The schema stays, only the RLS rules are tightened or authorization moves to the backend.
Lovable payments work for a demo, not for production. We implement proper Stripe integration with webhooks, idempotent operations, refunds, and subscription management.
Hardening: 2 weeks. Full migration: 4-8 weeks depending on complexity. We always keep the original Lovable version live until the new one is fully ready.
Usually yes. The Lovable database schema, UI, and business logic are mostly fine, you just need to extract them from the template into your own stack. That saves weeks of development.
