Once your vibe-coded prototype on Lovable is up and running, you might be ready to graduate to self-hosting or a more advanced service that scales better and gives you more control. If your Lovable application uses Lovable Cloud, a common choice is to migrate your data to Supabase. Supabase is a popular Backend-as-a-Service platform based on PostgreSQL. It has a reasonable free tier and it offers baked-in solutions for auth, serverless code execution (Edge Functions), real-time database change notifications and REST API. One of the big advantages of the platform is that at its core it’s based on Open Source technologies and the vast PostgreSQL ecosystem.
Internally, Lovable Cloud is already using a shared Supabase instance behind the scenes, but it doesn’t expose direct database access making migration a little more involved than it needs to be. Below we list specific instructions for getting your data and users to Supabase in just 7 steps.
