Leaving Bolt: the code travels, the services must follow

Bolt can sync a project with GitHub or download it. An app may also use Bolt Database, Supabase, Netlify and other integrations. The handover depends on the real configuration, not just the code export.

Code is the straightforward part

Bolt can create a GitHub repository, import an existing one and download project files as a ZIP. The code can therefore live beyond the editor. That portability matters, but it does not describe the complete live application.

Every project has a different service map

A Bolt app may rely on Bolt Database, Supabase, Netlify or other services. Data, user accounts, secrets and deployment settings do not necessarily travel with the code export.

The first step is to identify who owns every account and what role each service plays. Keeping an existing service can be the best option when ownership, backups and costs are understood.

A four-step handover

  1. Stabilise the repository. Keep the code on GitHub with usable history.
  2. Map the services. The Scan covers database, authentication, files, email, payments, variables and domain.
  3. Reproduce the deployment. Build and test the project in a separate environment.
  4. Move only what needs to move. Change accounts or providers where the move creates concrete control.

The result may be better governance within the current ecosystem or a targeted Production Upgrade. The inventory comes first.

The questions we keep hearing

Can I recover my Bolt project code?

Yes. Bolt supports ZIP downloads and GitHub synchronisation. Keep the repository in an account or organisation you control and verify that history is syncing correctly.

Can a Bolt app be hosted elsewhere?

Yes. The code can be deployed with another host. Environment variables, domains, build settings and any database or authentication services must then be recreated or reconnected.

What happens to the database?

It depends on the project. Bolt supports its own database and Supabase. A project copy may duplicate structure without data, so provider, ownership, backups and export options must be checked.

Inventory before you move

The Scan connects repository, database, secrets and deployment to establish a realistic path.
