Off Base44. Onto production.
Base44 is a frequent starting point for agentic AI prototypes — fast to wire up an OpenAI or Anthropic call, fast to ship a CRUD UI, slow to handle anything resembling production. Most clients reach out when their daily compute bill starts looking weird, or when the platform's auth model collides with their actual customer model.
The structural reasons.
Per-execution pricing escalates fast as agentic flows compound
Customer auth tied to Base44 accounts, not the client's domain
Vector and database choices baked in, hard to optimize
No clean path to compliance reviews (SOC 2, HIPAA-adjacent)
Target stack. Defaults, not dogma.
These are the choices we'd recommend for most Base44 migrations. The audit week is where we adjust for your specific constraints — compliance, team skills, existing infrastructure.
Base44 gotchas. All known.
The patterns specific to Base44 that catch teams trying to migrate themselves. We've seen each of these enough times to plan for them up front.
Conversation state lives inside Base44
Replaying user threads needs export work. We typically build a one-shot migration script.
Tools coupled to platform actions
Agent tools written as Base44 actions get rewritten as real backend endpoints.
A typical Base44 migration.
Yours will land within a few items of this. The line-item quote from the audit is what makes it specific.
- Lift agentic flows to function-per-tool architecture
- Stand up Postgres + pgvector with your data migrated in
- Rebuild conversation UI in Next.js or Remix on your repo
- Wire OpenAI / Anthropic keys under your accounts
