App Rescue & Stabilization

When Lovable, Bolt or Replit hits a wall — we take it from there.

AI-built MVPs are amazing for prototypes. They're terrible at scale. We audit, stabilize and migrate vibe-coded apps to a real stack — without losing your customers.

APP RESCUE & STABILIZATION
Quick answer

Who this is for.

Founders whose Lovable / Bolt / Base44 / Replit / Cursor MVP shipped, found real users — and is now breaking. You don't want to throw away what works. You don't want to live with what doesn't.

Problems we solve

What we hear from teams who come to us.

  • Auth, payments or DB on your no-code stack is suddenly failing.
  • You've hit a feature your no-code tool just can't build.
  • Performance is killing the user experience.
  • You're paying $400/month for tooling that won't scale past 1K users.
  • You can't hire engineers because no real engineer wants to work on the codebase.
What we deliver

A real, production stack — without losing customers or data.

01

Audit

What's salvageable, what needs rebuilding, what data must migrate. Written, prioritized, dollar-cost'd.

02

Data migration

Every row from your no-code DB into a real PostgreSQL with audit trail and rollback.

03

Stack migration

Lovable → Next.js, Bolt → React/Vue, Base44 → real backend. Customers don't notice the swap.

04

Feature parity

Every feature your customers use today, working on the new stack before the cutover.

05

Cutover plan

Phased rollout with feature flags. Rollback ready at every stage.

06

Real auth + payments

Replace fragile auth and payment shims with production-grade alternatives.

07

Performance fix

Database indexes, caching, N+1 fixes, image optimization — the unglamorous wins.

08

Test coverage

E2E tests around critical flows so the next regression doesn't take down production.

09

Documentation

Real docs your future team can read.

Tech stack

Pragmatic, battle-tested, swappable.

We pick stacks that fit the product — not the other way around. Every project comes with documented architecture, clear deployment, and a path off any tool we choose.

FAQ

Common questions.

Audits start at $4K. Full migrations $20K–$80K depending on scope and data complexity.

No — that's the point. Phased migration with feature flags means a customer's experience doesn't change during cutover.

Often, yes. Sometimes the schema and copy survive; the code rarely does. We'll tell you straight in the audit.

Audits 1–2 weeks. Migrations 4–12 weeks depending on scope.

No. Every row migrated, audited, validated. Rollback ready until you say go.
