Lovable

Applications built with Lovable (often referred to as "vibe-coded" because of their natural language development style) are primarily hosted on Lovable Cloud, which operates on a global infrastructure designed for high-speed deployment and data residency.

Depending on your settings and needs, the hosting details break down as follows:

1. Primary Hosting: Lovable Cloud

By default, apps are hosted on Lovable’s proprietary managed infrastructure. To comply with global regulations and performance needs, they offer regional data hosting in:

  • United States (US)
  • European Union (EU)
  • Australia

Customer data stays in the region you select during setup and does not move across regions by default.

2. Backend Infrastructure: Supabase

Under the hood, Lovable relies heavily on Supabase (a Backend-as-a-Service) for its core primitives:

  • Database: PostgreSQL
  • Authentication: User login and Row-Level Security (RLS)
  • Storage: File and image hosting
  • Edge Functions: Server-side logic

3. External & Self-Hosting Options

Because Lovable is built on "clean" code (React, Vite, TypeScript), you are not locked into their cloud. Many users choose to export their apps via GitHub to other providers for more control or lower costs:

  • Static/Frontend Hosting: Vercel, Netlify, and Cloudflare Pages are the most popular choices for the frontend.
  • Full-Stack/Self-Hosting: Developers often move their apps to AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), or Azure using Docker containers or virtual machines (like DigitalOcean or Vultr) to manage both the frontend and a self-hosted Supabase instance.

4. Domain & Delivery

When using Lovable Cloud, apps are initially assigned a [project-name].lovable.app URL. These are typically served through a Content Delivery Network (CDN)—often Cloudflare—to ensure low latency (the "time to first byte") regardless of where the user is located.
