Base44 Migration

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.

The process

Four steps to your own repo

  1. Step 1

    Tell us about your app

    4-question wizard captures your platform, deployment state, and access.

  2. Step 2

    We scan your build

    Engineers review the app, map every feature, and flag gotchas before any code moves.

  3. Step 3

    You get a repo

    Clean codebase delivered to your GitHub org with infra-as-code, schema, and tests.

  4. 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.
