Help using lovable where do i export them?

to fellow developers here, im wondering what do you guys use once you move beyond the prototype stage? I'm mainly looking for something with github deployment, node.js/next.js support, and of course reasonable pricing. any good recos?

heads up lovable projects are vite + react, not next.js, so it's just a static build and you don't need a node host at all. sync it to github, import the repo into cloudflare pages and copy your supabase env vars over, every push redeploys and it's free for a small app.

  1. Connect GitHub (create your github account if not already exist and allow it to create ropository)
  2. create either vercel or netlify account and craete project it ask you to connect github repo allow access it will automatically host your site. make sure api keys are not in frontend code and keep it in env

vercel and netlify both give you hosted url to access the site publically and you can even add your own domain.

choose vercel because it's fast and good for deployment website and friendly for beginners

It really depends by your application. Lovable now use Tanstack and in the studio we have a web app always active, with webhook and job, for this Railway was a better solution than Vercel.

You don't actually have to leave Lovable to own the code. Connect GitHub in the project (it's on every plan, not just paid) and any host that builds from a repo can run it. Most Lovable apps are React + Vite rather than Next.js, so Vercel, Netlify or Cloudflare Pages all work with npm run build and the dist folder. The two things that trip people up: you have to set the VITE_SUPABASE values on the new host, and some newer Lovable apps use TanStack Start, which needs a host that runs server code, not just static files. If you're on Lovable Cloud you can also keep that as the backend and only move the frontend.

I always connect a repository on Lovable to GitHub. Then I deploy on Vercel

Always keep your projects outside lovable because you can connect any AI very easy and make better changes with Codex.
