Can I keep building in Lovable after you harden it?

Yes, and most clients do. We work in the GitHub repository Lovable syncs with, so your prompts keep landing as commits.

How do I tell right now whether my Supabase policies are wrong?

Two checks take about ten minutes. First, in the SQL editor run: select tablename, rowsecurity from pg_tables where schemaname = 'public'.

Will you rewrite the app in a different framework?

No. React, Vite, Tailwind and Supabase is a stack we would happily choose ourselves, and rewrites are the most expensive way to fix a configuration problem.

What does a Lovable engagement usually cost and how long does it take?

The Production Check is free and takes three to five business days.

Platform playbook

Make your Lovable app production-ready

Lovable gets a beautiful, working app in front of users faster than anything else. The gap shows up later: Supabase policies written for a demo, secrets in the client, and no path to your own infrastructure.

Lovable

Most common critical finding

Row-level security that reads correctly as the logged-in user and also returns everyone else's rows.

Production Check: Free, 3–5 days
Typical engagement: 2–3 weeks
Hardening from: $2,000, fixed scope

What we find

Where Lovable apps break in production

What actually goes wrong, and why you would not have spotted it yourself. These are the findings we file most often, not a generic checklist.

Finding 01
Any customer can read every other customer's data
Generated Supabase policies are frequently permissive. The classic pattern is a policy that reads correctly for the logged-in user and also for everyone else.
Row-level security written for a demo
Finding 02
Your database password ships inside the app
Service-role keys and third-party API secrets end up in client-side code, where anyone can read them out of the bundle.
Keys on the client
Finding 03
A test action changes real customer data
Development and production point at the same database, so a test action mutates real customer data.
No environment separation
Finding 04
Fast today, unusable at fifty thousand rows
Views that fetch entire tables are invisible at ten rows and fatal at a hundred thousand.
Unbounded queries

What we do about it

The Lovable fix list

Almost none of this is a rewrite. Lovable emits a React, Vite and Supabase stack that is perfectly capable of running a real business - it is the configuration around it that was written for a demo.

How the hardening works

Rewrite and test every row-level security policy against real role scenarios
Move privileged calls to edge functions and rotate every exposed key
Split development, staging, and production projects with separate data
Add pagination, indexes, and query limits to the hot paths
Set up CI/CD so changes ship from git rather than from the editor
Optionally migrate off the hosted plan onto infrastructure you own

How it runs

A typical Lovable engagement

Durations from real projects of comparable size. The check is free and everything after it is quoted as fixed scope, so you know the price before we start.

1
Production Check
3–5 days
You add us read-only to the GitHub repo and the Supabase project.
2
Security and data layer
Week 1
Policies rewritten table by table and tested against anon, authenticated and owner roles, with the tests kept so a future regression fails the build.
3
Environments, speed, pipeline
Week 2
Separate Supabase projects for development and production, with schema changes as migration files in git rather than clicks in the dashboard.
4
Launch and watch
Week 3, then 30 days
We deploy with you, wire up error tracking, uptime checks and structured logs, and run a real restore from a real backup so the recovery time is a number you know.

No lock-in

What you keep

Everything we produce belongs to you. If you stop working with us tomorrow, nothing stops running and nothing becomes unmaintainable.

Your accounts and your code
The repository, the cloud accounts, the database and the domain stay in your name.
The report, whatever you decide next
Findings, severity ratings, reproduction steps and effort estimates, written for an engineer.
Infrastructure written down
The environment is defined as code in your repository and comes with a runbook: how to deploy, how to roll back, how to restore, and what to check first.
Your Lovable workflow
You can keep prompting. We work in the connected GitHub repository and put review and preview builds around it, so generated changes still ship - they just get checked first.
