A Bubble to Next.js migration is a full rebuild of your no-code app into a custom-coded stack — Next.js on the frontend, Supabase (PostgreSQL) on the backend. We pull your data, users, and business logic out of Bubble's proprietary platform and rebuild everything as code you actually own. The result: an app that loads 70% faster, handles 100x more users, and isn't held hostage by a no-code platform.
FAQ
Can I export my data from Bubble?
Bubble offers CSV exports and a Data API for programmatic access. We use the API because it preserves relationships between data types, handles large datasets without timing out, and lets us run incremental syncs during the parallel-run phase. CSV exports work as a fallback, but they lose the relational context that matters when you're building out your PostgreSQL schema.
How long does a Bubble to Next.js migration take?
Most migrations wrap up in 8-12 weeks for apps with standard complexity — user auth, CRUD operations, payments, a handful of integrations. Apps with heavy real-time features, complex role hierarchies, or 50,000+ users usually need 12-16 weeks. We scope this precisely during the audit phase before quoting anything.
Will my users need to create new accounts?
No. We migrate user records directly to Supabase Auth, preserving email addresses and profile data. Bubble doesn't expose password hashes, so users get a one-time password reset on first login. It takes about 30 seconds, and honestly most users won't notice anything beyond the faster load times.
Is Next.js + Supabase cheaper than Bubble long-term?
Significantly. Bubble's Growth plan starts at $129/month and scales past $500 for high-traffic apps. Supabase Pro is $25/month, Vercel Pro is $20/month. Most migrated apps run for under $100/month total — with none of the per-workflow or per-capacity-unit charges that spike unpredictably.
What if my Bubble app uses plugins that don't have code equivalents?
Bubble plugins are just wrappers around standard APIs and JavaScript libraries. During the audit, we identify every plugin and map it back to the underlying service. Stripe, SendGrid, Twilio, OpenAI — all of these have official SDKs that are more reliable and configurable than their Bubble plugin equivalents. Custom plugins get rebuilt as utility functions.
Can I migrate gradually instead of all at once?
Yes, though we recommend a full parallel-run approach over a piecemeal migration. Splitting your app between Bubble and Next.js creates authentication and data sync headaches that aren't worth it. We rebuild the full app, run both platforms simultaneously for 1-2 weeks with synced data, then cut over cleanly. Lower risk, none of the complexity of a split architecture.
