bolt
to Production.
"bolt prototyped it. We make it real."
Looking for bolt itself? bolt.new →
You built it in bolt.new.
A full-stack app running in your browser, generated and previewed in minutes. Now you need it running outside the browser — on a real server, with a real database, on your own domain.
What bolt is great at
bolt is the fastest way we have found to go from idea to running full-stack app. WebContainer-backed, full Node.js in your browser, instant preview. For showing an investor a working version of an idea, nothing beats it.

What bolt is not
bolt is a prototyping environment. The deployment story exists (bolt → StackBlitz → various hosts) but the app needs real production scaffolding before it can take real users: a persistent database, a custom domain, CI/CD, monitoring, the works.
The five gaps we close
These are the patterns we see in almost every bolt project we audit. None of them are about bolt being bad — they are about the difference between a working prototype and a product real users rely on.
Persistent database
bolt apps often use in-memory or SQLite databases that vanish on restart. We migrate you to a real Postgres (Neon, Supabase, or self-hosted), set up migrations, and seed your data so nothing is lost.
Real deployment
Out of bolt and onto a real host — Fly.io, Render, Vercel, Hetzner, AWS — with a CI/CD pipeline, environment variables, and rollbacks. We pick the host based on your stack and budget, not on what was easiest in the prototype.
Authentication that survives a restart
Auth in bolt prototypes is often fake or in-memory. We wire up a real auth provider (Auth.js, Clerk, Lucia, or Supabase Auth depending on stack) with session storage that does not reset on deploy.
File uploads & storage
bolt cannot persist real file uploads. We add proper object storage (S3, R2, or Supabase Storage) with signed URLs and access control.
Production observability
Once the app is on a real server, you need to know when it breaks. We add error tracking, uptime monitoring, and basic analytics so problems surface before users hit them.
bolt tends to output Node-based stacks — Next.js, Remix, Express, Astro. We work with all of them and can graduate the project to a more production-tuned setup without losing what was already built.
How we work with bolt projects
Intro Call
30 min · €50
You walk us through your bolt project. We ask the right questions. Together we decide whether a deeper session makes sense.
Technical Review
1 hr · €75
We audit the bolt-built repo against the five gaps above and leave you with a prioritized action list. Not just observations — a real plan.
Dedicated Day
€600
A full day on your project. We close the gaps, ship the production scaffolding, and leave you with a deployed app you can keep building on.
