01
Back up and take inventory
We confirm an independent production backup, then list the secrets, storage, connectors and runtime requirements your app has.
MIGRATE FROM REPLIT
Standard tools help.
Your live data still needs care.
Replit gives you conventional code and a PostgreSQL database, which makes it one of the friendlier starting points. The risks are copying the wrong database, losing late writes, and forgetting what never copies across.
Every Replit web app is a flat $199, code and database included. Order online in a few minutes, and we’ll be in touch within 1 business day to get started. Most migrations are done in 3–5 business days once we have access. Scope & payment details.

WHAT MOVES
What exports,
and what stays behind.
Replit’s guide for copying a project covers code and data as separate steps, using GitHub or a zip and standard PostgreSQL tools. It’s written for moves between Replit workspaces, and the tools work the same elsewhere.
Usually moves
CONVENTIONAL TOOLING- Source code, through GitHub or a zip download
- Commit history, if you use Git
- PostgreSQL schema and records, using pg_dump and pg_restore
We handle these too
NEVER COPIED- Secret values and Account Secrets
- App Storage buckets and their files
- Connectors, deployments and custom domains
- Files ignored by Git and uncommitted changes, if you transfer through Git
THE REPLIT CATCH
Three things that
trip up a move.
These aren’t unusual problems. They’re the small assumptions that cause trouble on the day of a cutover.
The default database is the wrong one
Replit’s DATABASE_URL points to the development database, while live data is usually in production. Exporting without changing it copies test data and looks like it worked.
Late writes get lost
Anything written after the dump runs isn’t in the copy. Replit advises unpublishing the old app before the final dump, so we schedule that step with you and keep it short.
AI agents and live data
Replit has described a 2025 incident where an AI agent deleted a customer’s database data, which was restored by rollback. It has since added stronger safeguards. We take an independent backup before any move, whichever platform you’re on.
THE PATH
How a Replit
move usually runs.
Once you’ve placed your order and paid, we agree a start date with you. Your current app keeps running until the new one is proven.
02
Make the deployment reproducible
The code goes into a repository you control, and we confirm it builds and starts on your chosen host outside Replit.
03
Rehearse the data move
We restore a copy of production data to the new database and verify it, so the real cutover isn’t the first attempt.
04
Final copy and switch
The old app is unpublished, the last dump is restored, secrets and domains are set, and the core workflows are checked.
Is Replit an easy platform to leave?
Compared with many builders, usually yes, because it uses standard code and PostgreSQL. Details still depend on each project’s runtime and services, which we check when you send your app details.
Will there be downtime?
Plan for a maintenance window during the final copy. Replit advises taking the old app offline so no new writes are missed. The length depends on your data and deployment, so we rehearse the move and agree the timing with you.
What about the backup file?
A database dump is a full copy of your data, so it shouldn’t be committed to Git. Replit advises deleting it from both projects and your device once the copy is done, and we treat it the same way.
How much will my Replit migration cost?
Every Replit web app is a flat $199, including both the code and the database, whatever its size. You can add the AI builder workspace for $149 when you order. Mobile apps are quoted separately. See what’s included, or start your order.
