The Code Migration Nobody Wants to Talk About (Until It Breaks in Prod)

Why Your AI-Built App Works in the Builder But Breaks in Production You shipped an app in Lovable or Bolt in three days. It's fast, it looks good, your early users love it. Then you try to scale it, and suddenly you're staring at database connection limits you didn't know existed, vendor lock-in you can't escape, and a codebase you don't actually own. This isn't a failure. This is what happens when you optimize for iteration instead of production. The Gap Nobody Talks About AI builders are designed for speed. They hide infrastructure complexity so you can focus on features.
