Bubble·to·Code

Migrate Bubble → Next.js

Moving from Bubble to Next.js, without the big-bang rewrite.

A migration doesn’t mean stopping the world and rebuilding from scratch. Your Bubble app keeps running while we rebuild the spine on Next.js + Postgres, dual-write the data, and cut over in a 30-minute window you control. Here’s what moves, what stays, and how long it takes.

How it works

From first call to code you own — in four steps.

No mystery, no long discovery phase. You see the plan before you ever pay, and you walk away owning everything.

  1. Step 01

    Book a call — get a free analysis

    Book a call or send your app details. We read every workflow, name the risks, and come back with a plain-English migration analysis — what's risky, what to keep, and a rebuild plan. Free, before any commitment.

  2. Step 02

    We scope it together — fixed price

    On a short call we agree exactly what gets rebuilt and lock one fixed price. No open-ended hourly bills, no surprises.

  3. Step 03

    We rebuild it as real code

    We rebuild your app as modern code that matches your look and keeps your data — and you see progress every day, about twice as fast as a traditional agency.

  4. Step 04

    Launch — and it's yours

    We move your users over with no downtime and hand you the keys: your code, your repo, your accounts. Keep us on, or take it from here.

What moves to Next.js

  • The 5-10 spine workflows that actually move revenue
  • Your data model, rebuilt 1:1 in Postgres (row IDs preserved)
  • Auth, billing, and the customer-facing pages
  • Anything gated by performance, SEO, or compliance

What can stay on Bubble

  • Internal admin dashboards and low-traffic ops tools
  • One-off internal CRM or back-office screens
  • Anything cold enough that a rebuild wouldn’t pay for itself

That hybrid split is the default for production teams — half the cost, half the cutover risk. See the hybrid planner to score your own pages.

The honest take

If you can’t point to a specific limitation costing you money or blocking users today — you probably shouldn’t migrate yet.

Half the calls we take end with us telling the founder to stay on Bubble for now. We’d rather lose a deal than ship a $30k rebuild someone didn’t need.

Migrate now if…

  • Your workload-unit overages are eating real money each month
  • You're losing enterprise / Series A deals over Bubble specifically
  • You can't ship a feature your customers are demanding
  • Your senior Bubble dev just quit and you can't backfill
  • Page-load complaints are now in your support inbox

Stay on Bubble if…

  • Your app is still pre-product-market-fit and the spec changes weekly
  • You don't have a clear paying-customer pain you can name
  • You're under 50 workflows and your bill is still under $200/mo
  • You can't commit a half-time engineer to own the result after handoff
  • You're shopping for the lowest price — we won't be it

The middle path nobody talks about

Hybrid: customer-facing on code, admin tools stay on Bubble.

You don’t have to rebuild everything to fix the loud problems. Most customers run hybrid permanently — landing pages, signup flow, paying user experience and the spine workflows move to code; admin dashboards, internal CRM, low-traffic ops tools stay on Bubble. Half the cost, half the risk, all of the speed/SOC2/diligence wins where they actually matter.
