Disclaimer
Bubble is an incredible piece of technology, and we owe a lot to it. But times have changed - building with AI is now better, faster, and more flexible.
Everything in your data layer, handled.
Database, auth, files, Option Sets, and the security model — together, with someone driving every decision and validating the result.
User accounts & auth
Bubble users moved into real Supabase Auth accounts, linked back to their records, with a clean first-login flow planned with you.
Images & files
Bubble-hosted assets migrated to Supabase Storage with references rewritten so records keep pointing to the right files.
Schema redesign support
If parts of your Bubble schema should not carry over as-is, we can redesign them into cleaner Postgres structures with better constraints, relationships, and long-term flexibility.
Privacy rules & security
Bubble privacy rules mapped to Postgres row-level security — or redesigned with you if you want a cleaner, safer model.
Progressive rollout
Move into a test database first, validate against your live Bubble source, rehearse the cutover, then roll out to production in a guided and progressive way.
Process
A migration process built for control and clarity
Audit & migration/redesign plan
We review your Bubble data layer and define the migration plan before any data moves. If a redesign makes sense, we plan for that upfront too.
Migrate to a test database
We migrate your data layer into a Postgres test branch first, using either test or live data so we can assess the process before anything goes live.
Optional schema improvements
Once parity is confirmed, we can improve or redesign parts of the schema that should not carry over as-is, often replacing Bubble-specific patterns with cleaner database structures.
Validation & mock cutover
We verify counts, relationships, and integrity against the live Bubble source, then rehearse the real cutover in a safe environment while incremental sync is still running.
Live cutover & guided rollout
We run the final sync and guide the rollout carefully, often starting with a smaller group before moving everyone over. We can also help with product and communication guidance.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to what people usually ask before getting started.
What is a Bubble database migration?
A Bubble database migration moves your app's data layer out of Bubble and into Postgres. That usually includes database schema, records, Option Sets, user accounts, files, and privacy logic. The goal is to preserve parity first, while also giving you the option to improve the schema and shape a cleaner structure for the new system.
How is this different from a full Bubble app migration?
A full Bubble app migration targets your frontend, backend, auth, data, and infrastructure. This service focuses on the data layer only: database, user accounts, files, Option Sets, and security. It is a good fit if you simply want to get this layer out of Bubble, whether for migration purposes, analytics, machine learning models, or other backend needs.
Can you migrate Bubble data to Postgres or Supabase?
Yes. Bubble data can be migrated into Postgres directly, and Supabase is a common target because it combines Postgres, auth, and storage in one stack. Schema, records, relationships, Option Sets, files, and account links can all be migrated with validation before anything goes live.
What happens to Bubble users and login accounts after migration?
Bubble users are moved into the new auth system and linked back to their records. In many cases that means a planned password reset or first-login flow. We also help plan the rollout for existing users, new signups, and account-to-data associations so login changes do not become a cutover risk.
What happens to Bubble privacy rules during migration?
Bubble privacy rules can be mapped into Postgres row-level security so the access model stays the same after migration. If parts of the model are hard to maintain or too Bubble-specific, they can also be redesigned into a cleaner security structure. Most projects keep what works and improve what should not carry over as-is.
Can the database schema be redesigned during the migration?
Yes, absolutely. We can extract what you have from Bubble first, get it migrated correctly, and then redesign the parts of the schema that should not carry over as-is. That often happens in a separate branch, where we clean up relationships, restructure Option Sets, and replace Bubble-shaped patterns with a better database design.
What happens to Bubble files, images, and Option Sets during migration?
Bubble-hosted files and images are migrated to the new storage target, and the references inside your records are rewritten so they keep pointing to the right assets. Option Sets are also migrated into database-friendly structures, whether that means relational tables, enums, or another model that fits your stack.
Will there be downtime during the migration?
Usually there is no meaningful downtime. The migration can run as an incremental sync while Bubble stays live, and the production transition is rehearsed before anything changes for users. Rollout can also happen in stages, starting with a smaller group before everyone moves over.
How long does a Bubble database migration take?
Most Bubble database migration projects take 1 to 6 weeks from audit to production readiness. The timeline mostly depends on how much schema redesign is needed, which new system is chosen, and the rollout conditions around the move.
