Will my app go down during the migration?

We build and verify the new setup in parallel, then cut over during a low-traffic window with a rollback plan ready. Most migrations have zero or seconds of downtime.

Do I lose my existing user accounts and data?

No — auth users, database rows, and storage files all migrate with the project. We verify row counts and spot-check auth logins after the move, not just trust that it worked.

Why Vercel specifically, and not another host?

Vercel is the most common pairing with a Supabase backend and needs the least custom configuration, but the same migration works to Netlify, Railway, or your own infrastructure if you'd rather.

What if I want to keep using Lovable for new features later?

You can — this migration just moves the infrastructure ownership, not your workflow. Some clients keep prototyping in Lovable and merge changes into the owned repo manually.

Own your infrastructure

Move Your Lovable App to Your Own Supabase + Vercel

Every Lovable app runs on infrastructure you don't fully control. Moving to your own Supabase project and your own Vercel deployment means your database, your domain, and your bill belong to you — not a builder's account you're renting.

Sound familiar?

What's actually going wrong

The specific symptoms we see most often.

You don't actually own your database

If the Lovable-managed Supabase project is tied to someone else's account, or you've never exported a schema backup, you don't have a real disaster-recovery plan.

You're paying builder markup on infrastructure

Hosting and database costs routed through a builder platform are rarely the cheapest way to run a production app once real users show up.

You can't bring in another developer easily

A freelancer or agency can't move fast inside a Lovable project the way they can in a plain Supabase + Vercel + GitHub stack everyone already knows.

Feature limits you keep hitting

Custom middleware, background jobs, or a specific package version Lovable's generation flow doesn't support — all trivial once the code lives in a normal repo.

Why this happens

Builder tools bundle your database, hosting, and generation flow together on purpose — it's what makes the fast first version possible. The tradeoff shows up later: your production app is running on someone else's opinionated setup, with your own account access to the details often partial at best.

Migrating doesn't mean rebuilding. Supabase is already Postgres with a normal API in front of it — the database itself moves largely intact. The work is in re-pointing auth, storage, and edge functions cleanly, then deploying the frontend to Vercel under your own domain and account.

What we do about it

Audit what you currently have access to

We check what's actually exportable today — schema, storage buckets, auth users, edge functions — before touching anything.

Stand up your own Supabase project

Schema, RLS policies, storage, and auth migrated with policies re-verified, not just copy-pasted.

Deploy to your own Vercel account

Your domain, your environment variables, your billing — properly separated for preview and production this time.

Verify nothing broke in the move

Every auth flow, write path, and storage upload tested against the new project before we call it done.

Hand over full access and documentation

You get admin access to every account involved, plus a short doc explaining what lives where.

Fix Sprint, from $600

Most migrations fit inside a one-week Fix Sprint. A Code Audit ($199) first is worth it if you're not sure what's exportable from your current setup.

Typically one week, fixed scope agreed upfront
