Take your Base44 app off their backend.
Base44 gives you the frontend repo. The database, auth, server functions, and runtime stay locked behind their SDK. We migrate the whole stack — your code, your infra, your data — onto your own cloud.
Why teams move
Base44 gets you to a demo.
Production is a different problem.
US-only, no self-host
All Base44 servers are in the United States. No EU data residency, no HIPAA story, no option to run on your own AWS or GCP — open requests on their own feedback site.
Backend stays locked in
Frontend exports to GitHub. The database, auth, server functions, and the @base44/sdk runtime do not. An exported app will not run independently without rebuilding the backend.
Single point of failure
On Feb 3, 2026, every published Base44 app went down for ~3 hours when the platform failed. Two more incidents that month. On your own cloud, your uptime is yours to control.
Credits, not capacity
Pricing is credit-metered and credits don't roll over. Debug loops, end-user integration calls, and traffic spikes share the same monthly bucket. Hit the wall, upgrade the plan.
Side by side
What changes when you migrate
| Base44 | CodeConductor | |
|---|---|---|
| Source code | Frontend only (Builder+ tier) | Full stack: frontend, backend, DB, infra-as-code |
| Backend ownership | Locked behind @base44/sdk | Your code, your servers |
| Hosting | Base44 cloud, US-only | Your AWS / GCP / Azure, any region |
| Data residency | United States | Your region — EU, HIPAA, FedRAMP-capable infra |
| Staging environments | Duplicate-the-app workaround | First-class persistent staging |
| Pricing model | Credit-metered, no rollover | Per-seat or capacity, predictable |
The process
Four steps to your own repo
- Step 1
Tell us about your app
4-question wizard captures your platform, deployment state, and access.
- Step 2
We scan your build
Engineers review the app, map every feature, and flag gotchas before any code moves.
- Step 3
You get a repo
Clean codebase delivered to your GitHub org with infra-as-code, schema, and tests.
- Step 4
Ship from your stack
Deploy on your cloud. Iterate with your team. No more hosted runtime.
When you should stay on Base44
We're not here to talk you out of a tool that's working. Base44 is genuinely good at a few things, and if your situation fits, migrating now is wasted effort. Stay if:
- You're shipping internal tools, admin panels, or dashboards. Bounded users, US-only is fine, no SEO concerns — Base44's tradeoffs don't hurt you.
- You're a non-technical founder validating an idea. The all-in-one setup (auth, DB, hosting, domain) gets you to revenue faster than stitching the stack yourself.
- You're still pre-product-market-fit and iterating on a prototype. Prompt-to-scaffold speed beats portability when the requirements are changing weekly.
If your app is past prototype, has paying customers, needs EU data residency, or you're bumping into the credit ceiling — that's when migration pays back.
