Lovable Migration Service

We move your Lovable app off managed hosting and onto infrastructure you own, production-grade, fully automated, live in 5 days. You keep building in Lovable. We handle the rest.

What you get

Every migration ships with the same nine deliverables. No surprises, no half-done handovers.

Export your Lovable project

Sync the GitHub repo, clean up generated cruft, lock dependencies, and verify a clean local build.

Provision the VPS

Right-sized Hetzner / DigitalOcean / Linode box, hardened with SSH keys, UFW firewall, fail2ban, unattended upgrades.

Configure DNS

Point your domain, set low TTL for safe cutover, configure root + www, optional Cloudflare proxy.

Deploy the application

Production build behind a process manager (PM2 / systemd), reverse-proxied by Caddy or Nginx, zero-downtime restarts.

Configure SSL

Auto-renewing Let's Encrypt certificates via Caddy. HSTS, modern cipher suites, A+ on SSL Labs.

Configure CI/CD

GitHub Actions pipeline: push to main → tests run → build → SSH deploy. Same flow you had on Lovable.

Set up backups

Nightly Postgres dumps + weekly full snapshots, off-site to S3 / R2, with a tested restore script.

Set up monitoring

Uptime checks, error tracking (Sentry), structured logs, Discord / Slack alerts on incidents.

Ongoing support

30 days of free hypercare after handover. Optional monthly retainer for patches, scaling, and on-call.
