App rescue · Lovable

Your Lovable app looks finished. Your backend disagrees.

Lovable is genuinely good at producing a product surface that looks complete. What it does not give you is the part underneath: verified webhooks, enforced row level security, idempotent writes, and errors you can actually see. That is the gap almost every Lovable rescue lives in.

What actually breaks

The four failures we see most in Lovable builds

These are specific to Lovable. A rescue starts by working out which of them you have.

Payments succeed and nothing is recorded

The customer sees a green check, Stripe shows the money, and your database has no order. The redirect back to the app was treated as the source of truth instead of a verified webhook, so any closed tab or dropped network silently loses the record.

Row level security never switched on

Industry reporting puts roughly 70% of Lovable and Bolt apps on Supabase shipping with RLS disabled. Every signed-in user can read and modify every other user's rows. It looks completely normal until somebody checks.

Webhooks that fail silently

No signature verification, no retry handling, no dead letter path. The provider records a delivery failure, your app records nothing at all, and the first you hear of it is a support email.

The fix-and-break cycle

You prompt for one fix, the model rewrites a file it should not have touched, and something unrelated breaks. Credit spend climbs while the app gets steadily worse, which is usually the point founders come to us.

FAQ

Lovable rescue questions

My Lovable app charges customers but creates no order. What is happening?+

Almost always the gap between the payment provider confirming money movement and your backend confirming product state. The checkout redirect is a browser event, not proof of anything. We trace one real payment end to end, checkout session through payment intent, webhook signature, event delivery, idempotency key and the database write, and show you exactly which boundary drops it.

Can you fix a Lovable app or does it need rebuilding?+

Usually fix. Most Lovable apps have sound intent and unsafe execution: the data model is broadly right and the security, payment integrity and error handling are missing. We only recommend a rebuild when the core structure cannot support what the product actually needs, and the audit tells you which case you are in before you spend anything.

What does the free audit actually include?+

We look at the real thing — the live app or the repository, not a description of it — and send back a written assessment within 24 hours: what is salvageable, what is not, what it would cost to get to production, and what we would do first. It is yours to keep whether or not you hire us.

Do I own the code after you fix it?+

Yes. You own the repository, the infrastructure and every account it runs on, with documentation and a handover. That is true of a rescue exactly as it is of a build.
