Why Your AI-Built App Works in the Builder But Breaks in Production You've shipped something real with Lovable, Bolt, or Base44. It works. Users are signing up. Then you realize: your database lives on their servers. Your code is locked in their platform. You have no rollback if something breaks. And scaling? That's when the builder hits its ceiling. This is the gap nobody talks about. AI builders are optimized for iteration, not production. They're brilliant at getting you from idea to working prototype in hours.
