Migrate off Softr

Off Softr. Onto production.

Softr apps are usually where the prototype outgrew its database. The migration is from Airtable to Postgres and from Softr's templated UI to a real frontend, with proper auth and permissions baked in.

Why clients move off Softr

The structural reasons.

  • Airtable record limits or query speed hit a ceiling

  • Need permissions and access control Softr can't model

  • Want a custom UI that doesn't fit Softr's blocks

Things that bite

Softr gotchas. All known.

The patterns specific to Softr that catch teams trying to migrate themselves. We've seen each of these enough times to plan for them up front.

Data migration from Airtable

Airtable's flexible types need careful schema mapping.

Permissions model

Softr's permissions usually flatten in the migration. We redesign for the real product.

What's in scope

Yours will land within a few items of this. The line-item quote from the audit is what makes it specific.

  • Migrate Airtable to Postgres with relations
  • Rebuild app surface with custom UI
