Bolt.new App Rescue
Take your Bolt.new app to production
Bolt.new got you a working prototype in the browser. We give it a real server, a real database and real security, then launch it under your own accounts with the code yours.

Bolt.new runs your app inside the browser, which is exactly why it feels so fast. You describe something, it appears, it works. Production is a different environment. There is a real server, real secrets, a real database and more than one person using the app at the same moment, and an app that was only ever run in a preview has met none of them.
When we open a Bolt project the pattern is familiar. Sample data is written into the front end, so the app looks full but stores nothing. Front end and back end are one block with no real boundary between them. Routes work on the path you tested and break off it. The prototype is real, and so is the gap between it and something you can charge money for.
A plain review of the generated project: structure, dependencies, exposed keys and what is safe to keep.
A proper API between the interface and the data, so each side can change without breaking the other.
A production schema and migrations, replacing sample data that lives in the front end and vanishes on refresh.
Real accounts and permission checks on every route that needs them.
Keys moved out of the code and into managed environment settings, with separate development and production.
A repeatable deployment with logging and alerts, so you hear about a failure before your users tell you.
We export the project and report what to keep, what to rebuild and what it will cost.
API, database and authentication, the foundation the preview never needed.
Secrets, validation and third-party services, tested with mock transactions.
Deployed under your accounts, with tests and monitoring in place.
The mistakes we see most often, so you can avoid paying for them.
The preview is one user, clean data and the path you clicked. Production is many users, bad input and everything you did not click.
When the tool keeps failing on one error, more prompts rarely help. The cause is usually structural, and structure needs a person.
A key given to the tool often ends up in client code, where anyone can read it. We rotate exposed keys as part of the security pass.
With interface and data logic mixed together, every small change risks the whole app. Separating them is what makes the product cheap to maintain.
Yes. We export the project, audit it, keep the interface where it is good and build the API, database, authentication and security it needs. Then we deploy it under your accounts.
Because the preview and a real server are different environments. Secrets, database connections, build settings and server-side code all behave differently once the app leaves the browser. Those differences are normal and fixable.
Not always. We usually keep the front end you have approved and rebuild the structure beneath it. If the project is too tangled to save, the audit will say so before you spend anything more.
On accounts you own. We choose the platform to suit the app, and we set up the hosting, domain and database in your name so you are never locked to us.
For a clean prototype, often a few weeks to a launched MVP. A tangled one takes longer. You get a timeline and a fixed scope from the audit before work begins.
Completely. Repository, hosting, database and analytics accounts are all in your name from day one.
The full ai app rescue service this specialism is part of.
Lovable gave you a good-looking app fast. We make it safe and real: database rules.
You built it in Cursor and it works on your machine. We review the whole codebase.
v0 gave you an interface that looks finished. We keep it.
Replit let you build and host in one place. We make what you built safe for real users.
