SmartVibe: Vibe-to-AWS Full Stack Migration

You built your product with AI tools. It works, users are on board, but when investors ask about due diligence and regulators ask about compliance, Supabase and Vercel won't cut it. We move your stack to production-grade AWS in under four months, at a fixed price, with zero downtime.

What you get after SmartVibe migration

Production-grade AWS infrastructure

Production-grade AWS infrastructure

Multi-account Landing Zone, RDS Multi-AZ, ECS Fargate, KMS encryption, GuardDuty, CloudTrail. Everything configured correctly from day one: reproducible, auditable, investor-ready.

A codebase engineers want to work on

A codebase engineers want to work on

Standardised NestJS backend with reusable modules for auth, business domains, documents, payments, audit, observability, and generated frontend clients. The kind of stack that attracts talent instead of repelling it.

Compliance-ready foundation

Compliance-ready foundation

Field-level AES-256-GCM encryption, MFA via Cognito, audit logging via CloudTrail, and access governance via SCPs. The architecture gives teams the technical controls needed for compliance readiness.

Independence: you own everything

Independence: you own everything

Complete framework with documentation, runbooks, and AI development configuration. You can continue building independently. We're available on retainer, but you're never locked in.

Problems we solve

Problem

Investors are asking about your infrastructure and your Supabase/Vercel stack can't demonstrate maturity

We deliver a multi-account AWS Landing Zone with governance, monitoring, encryption, and CI/CD. The exact infrastructure stack that passes due diligence. Ready in weeks, not months.

Problem

Regulators require encryption, audit trails, and access controls (NIS2, DORA, GDPR)

Application-level AES-256-GCM via AWS KMS, CloudTrail for audit, Cognito with MFA, NestJS Guards replacing Supabase RLS. Compliance-supporting controls are built into the architecture, not bolted on after.

Problem

A software house quoted £200K+ and six months of work

Our repeatable framework, built once and deployed many times, brings the cost down to from £12K. AI-accelerated delivery means one engineer produces what normally takes three. Scale advantage, not cheap labour.

Problem

Traditional migration takes too long and you cannot wait six months

Fourteen weeks, four phases. Your old stack keeps running in parallel throughout. Zero disruption to users. The switch happens only when everything is verified and ready.

Problem

No DevOps team or backend engineer to lead the migration

Fully managed by a two-person senior team (Solutions Architect + Full-Stack Engineer). We handle everything: infrastructure, backend, frontend switchover, go-live. You focus on your product.

Problem

Fear of being locked into the migration partner

We hand over the complete framework with documentation, AI coding configuration, and runbooks. Any competent engineer can continue the work. If you want us back, we re-engage instantly because it's our known stack.

How SmartVibe compares

Traditional agency AI tools (Lovable, Cursor) SmartVibe
Cost £60K to £200K / €70K to €240K £0 to £5K (but not production) from £12K / €15K
Time to production 26 to 52 weeks Days (but not real production) 10 to 16 weeks
Infrastructure quality Custom, often manual None Production-grade, reproducible IaC
Post-delivery development Dependent on the agency You're alone AI-assisted with guardrails
Client independence Low (only they know the code) High (but no quality) High (framework you can take over)
AWS consumption Variable Zero Full stack, grows with your product

What the solution is built on

Repeatable framework, not custom projects

Repeatable framework, not custom projects

Every migration lands on the same standardised target stack. We know it deeply, have comprehensive documentation, and deliver it faster each time. This is a product, not a bespoke engagement.

AI-accelerated, not AI-only

AI-accelerated, not AI-only

AI generates code from your existing codebase. Humans make architecture decisions, validate security, and own the output. You get startup speed with enterprise quality controls.

Zero disruption to your users

Zero disruption to your users

Your product keeps running on the old stack throughout the entire migration. The switch happens after feature-parity testing is complete. Your users notice nothing.

Costs that make sense from day one

Costs that make sense from day one

A typical migrated startup runs on approximately £120/month of AWS at initial user volumes. Scales predictably with growth. No surprise bills, because the standardised architecture has known cost curves.

Built for regulated industries

Built for regulated industries

Fintech, healthtech, legaltech: we design for NIS2, DORA, GDPR, FCA, and PSD2 from the start. Encryption, audit trails, access governance, and MFA are in the base stack, not optional add-ons.

AWS Advanced Partner delivery

AWS Advanced Partner delivery

Devopsity is an AWS Advanced Partner since 2014. Well-Architected Programme member. Service Ready for ECS/EKS. Confirmed AWS DevOps Competency, AWS Security Competency in progress. Your migration is backed by a decade of AWS project experience.

How the migration works

Four phases, typically fourteen weeks. Your existing product keeps running throughout. Fixed price agreed upfront based on an assessment of your codebase.

1

Phase 0: Foundation (weeks 1 and 2)

We lay the groundwork: AWS infrastructure defined as code, dev/staging/prod environments, the first application module running with authentication and encryption. By the end of week two you have a working development environment with a CI/CD pipeline.

  • Multi-account AWS structure (management, security, dev, staging, prod)
  • VPC, ECS Fargate, RDS PostgreSQL, Cognito, KMS provisioned via Terraform
  • NestJS skeleton with a working authentication flow
  • CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions, ECR, ECS) with environment promotion
  • Prisma schema covering all data entities
  • OpenAPI + orval pipeline generating typed frontend hooks
  • AI project configuration (coding standards, guardrails, custom skills)
2 weeks
2

Phase 1: Backend API (weeks 3 to 8)

We build all domain modules for your application. Your existing code is reverse-engineered into specifications, then AI-assisted generation produces the NestJS modules. By the end of this phase you sign off a working staging environment with the full API.

  • Reverse engineering specifications from existing vibe-coded services
  • AI-assisted generation of NestJS domain modules from existing code
  • Guards replacing Supabase RLS with explicit, testable access control
  • Supporting services (email, notifications, file uploads via S3)
  • Full staging deployment with all entities accessible
  • Staged customer sign-off
6 weeks
3

Phase 2: Frontend Switchover (weeks 9 and 10)

Deterministic migration scripts replace all Supabase calls in your frontend with generated API hooks. No manual rewriting. By the end, Supabase is completely removed from the codebase and you sign off full feature parity.

  • Generated TanStack Query hooks covering all API endpoints
  • AST-based codemod scripts (ts-morph) replace Supabase calls mechanically
  • Auth flows moved to Cognito (login, signup, MFA, password reset)
  • Full application running against NestJS + RDS + Cognito in staging
  • Manual walkthrough of all screens with feature parity confirmed
  • Supabase removed from the codebase entirely
2 weeks
4

Phase 3: Pre-launch and Go-live (weeks 11 to 14)

Production infrastructure ready, tested, and verified. We switch DNS and launch production. The old stack stays on read-only standby in case a rollback is needed.

  • Production environment provisioned (identical modules, production parameters)
  • Full smoke testing against production
  • CloudWatch dashboards, alarms, and GuardDuty active
  • ECS scaled to production capacity
  • DNS cutover (Cloudflare to ALB)
  • Launch verified with monitoring dashboards green
  • Old system kept on standby for a two-week rollback window
4 weeks

The target stack: standardised, production-grade, AWS-native

Layer Technology Why
Frontend React + TypeScript (existing, migrated) Most vibe-coded apps are React SPAs. Frontend carries over; we replace the service layer.
Backend NestJS on ECS Fargate Standardised NestJS backend with reusable modules for auth, business domains, documents, payments, audit, observability, and generated clients.
Database RDS PostgreSQL Multi-AZ Managed relational DB with high availability. Direct migration from Supabase PostgreSQL.
Auth AWS Cognito + MFA + OIDC Managed auth with MFA, social login, strong auth federation. Replaces Supabase Auth.
Encryption AES-256-GCM via AWS KMS Application-level field encryption. Replaces pgcrypto. Per-field, auditable.
IaC Terraform Full infrastructure as code. Landing Zone, dev/staging/prod. Modules from our platform.
CI/CD GitHub Actions, ECR, ECS Trunk-based dev, environment promotion, manual approval gate for production.
Monitoring CloudWatch + X-Ray + GuardDuty Observability from day zero. Dashboards, alarms, tracing, threat detection.
Edge Cloudflare Pro (WAF + CDN + DNS) DDoS protection, caching, SSL termination.

Frequently asked questions

SmartVibe is optimised for apps built with AI coding tools on Supabase/Vercel, but the framework works for any React + Supabase application regardless of how it was built. The key question is: do you have a working product that needs production infrastructure? If yes, we can help.

No. Your existing product keeps running on the old stack throughout the entire migration. The switch happens only after feature-parity testing is complete (Phase 3). Users notice nothing.

User data migration is an optional add-on. For a soft launch (new users sign up on the new system), no data migration is needed. For existing user migration, we provide ETL scripts with re-encryption via AWS KMS. Typical effort: 24 hours additional.

Yes. You continue building on the beta/prototype. Any new features are specced into our shared backlog and implemented in the new backend in parallel. The frontend switches in one coordinated step.

The fixed price covers the agreed scope. If scope changes (you add significant new requirements mid-build), we do a scope swap rather than expanding the timeline. Our delivery model is built around predictable phases with clear milestones and sign-offs.

No. The framework is designed so that frontend and product engineers can build features without AWS expertise. Infrastructure concerns are handled by the framework itself. For ongoing infrastructure work, our maintenance retainer (from £1K / €1.2K per month) covers it.

Our general cloud migration service handles any workload (on-premises, Heroku, DigitalOcean, etc.) with a custom approach per project. SmartVibe is a productised offering specifically for AI-built apps on Supabase/Vercel: standardised stack, repeatable process, fixed price. Faster and less expensive because we have built the framework once.

ECS Fargate (compute), RDS PostgreSQL (database), Cognito (auth), KMS (encryption), S3 (storage), ECR (container registry), CloudWatch + X-Ray (monitoring), GuardDuty (security), CloudTrail (audit), SES (email), ALB (load balancing), Secrets Manager, VPC, AWS Organizations. Approximately £120/month at initial user volumes, scaling with growth.
