The villain

The Backend Lock-in

Your backend chose your limits — and your bill.

Surprise bills

Read-heavy months cost a fortune.

Query walls

No joins, no reports, no real SQL.

Rule spaghetti

Security rules nobody fully understands.

Lock-in

Proprietary APIs everywhere in your code.

Workarounds

Data duplicated just to make screens fast.

The cost of waiting

Every spike in usage means a bigger bill and queries your database can't answer.

It's not your fault. The tools that got you here won't get you there.

Every great product hits this wall. Here's who gets you over it.

A better backend, same product.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Straight answers about risk, timing and cost.

Supabase or Convex?

Supabase when you want Postgres and SQL, Convex when you want type-safe realtime functions end to end. We recommend one after the audit.

Will users have to sign up again?

No. Users and password hashes are migrated wherever the providers allow, so people keep signing in as before.

What about the mobile apps?

We release updated apps that talk to the new backend and keep the old one running until users have updated.

How much does the move cost?

The price is fixed for the agreed scope and set after a short audit, before work starts. No hourly billing.

How long does it take?

Most moves take weeks, not months. You get a fixed timeline after the audit, and a working prototype of the new version in 1 day.

What if something goes wrong?

The old system stays live as a rollback until the new one is verified side by side, so you can always switch back.

Who owns the result?

You do, 100% — the code, the repository, the data and every account.
