Bolt rescue

Your Bolt.new prototype, turned into a real product

Bolt is unbeatable for spinning up a clickable prototype in an afternoon. But a prototype that runs in a browser sandbox isn't a product. We take your Bolt build off the demo track and onto real infrastructure - without throwing away what works.

Sound familiar?

Signs you've outgrown Bolt

Bolt got you moving fast - that's the point. These are the signals it's time for senior engineering to take it the rest of the way.

The prototype demos great but breaks with real data or real users

You need a real backend, database, and hosting instead of the in-browser sandbox

Auth, payments, or persistence need to actually work end-to-end

Stakeholders approved the concept and now expect a shippable product

You want the code in your own repo and deployed on real infrastructure

Adding the next feature keeps breaking earlier ones

What we do

From Bolt build to production software

We keep what works and fix the load-bearing parts - the ones that decide whether real users have a good day.

Off the sandbox, onto real infra

We move the project from the in-browser environment to a real repo, database, and hosting you own and control.

A real backend

Persistent database, API layer, and server logic replace the prototype's mocks and shortcuts.

Auth & payments that work

Production auth and real Stripe billing - including the edge cases (failed payments, proration) demos skip.

Structure that holds

We refactor core flows and set clean boundaries so new features stop breaking old ones.

Monitoring & safety

Error tracking, alerts, and tests on the paths that matter, so failures surface before customers find them.

Owned, documented code

A clean repo, architecture notes, and a runbook - no lock-in, ready for your team or ours to extend.

When you should just keep using Bolt

If you're still pitching the concept or validating UX, keep iterating in Bolt - that's exactly what it's best at. Bring us in the moment the prototype needs to survive real users or real money.

How it works

How the rescue runs

1

Free prototype audit

We review your Bolt project, identify what's reusable, and map the shortest safe path from prototype to production.

2

Stand up real foundations

Real backend, database, and hosting - your working flows ported over so the demo becomes a deployable app.

3

Harden the money paths

Auth, payments, validation, and monitoring on the flows that carry real risk, added and tested.

4

Ship & hand off

Live on infrastructure you own, with documented code and a 30-day fix window. Keep us on or take it from here.

FAQ

Bolt to production, answered

Can a Bolt.new prototype become a real product?

Yes - and often faster than starting over, because the UI and core flows are usually reusable. The work is standing up a real backend, database, and hosting, then hardening auth and payments. We reuse what's solid and rebuild only what has to be.

My Bolt app only runs in the browser sandbox - can you deploy it for real?

Yes. We move it onto real infrastructure (a repo you own, a managed database, and hosting like Vercel or Cloudflare) so it runs like production software, not a demo.

Can you add real payments and auth?

Yes. We implement production auth and real Stripe billing including the edge cases - failed payments, proration, cancellations - that prototypes almost always skip.

How much does it cost to turn a Bolt prototype into a product?

A focused productionization typically starts around $5k, and a full build-out with backend, auth, payments, and tests runs to roughly $10k+ depending on scope. You get a fixed quote after the free audit.

Will I own the code?

Completely. We deliver a clean Git repo and infrastructure you own, with no lock-in - if you build an in-house team later, everything transfers.

How do we start?

Send your Bolt project link. You'll get a free audit and a fixed-scope plan within 48 hours.
