    Lovable Cloud to Supabase Migration

    A complete, universal guide for migrating any Lovable Cloud project to a standalone Supabase project. Copy these templates, follow the steps, and migrate with confidence.

    โœ… Good Reasons to Migrate

    • Need direct Supabase Dashboard access for advanced configurations
    • Team members need separate Supabase accounts for collaboration
    • Require features not available in Lovable Cloud UI
    • Want to use Supabase CLI for local development
    • Building for enterprise with specific compliance requirements

    โŒ When NOT to Migrate

    • Lovable Cloud is working well for your needs
    • You don't need direct database access
    • You prefer the simplified Lovable Cloud experience

    ๐Ÿ’ก Good to know: Lovable Cloud uses Supabase under the hood. Migration is about gaining direct access to the Supabase dashboard - the underlying technology is the same.
