For Lovable apps

Add a real database to your Lovable app in 5 minutes.

Lovable builds the app. Swyftstack gives it a real PostgreSQL backend that remembers users between visits.

How we fit together

Lovable builds the app. Swyftstack remembers the data.

Lovable handles the UI and deploys it; we handle the PostgreSQL database your app reads and writes to. One DATABASE_URL between them and you're done.

Lovable: your app + UI

Lovable scaffolds your React app from a prompt and hosts the front end. The chat updates components, screens, and styling - everything users see.

Swyftstack: your data + your files

Managed PostgreSQL 16 on a single DATABASE_URL, plus app object storage on the same dashboard. SSL by default, daily backups, scoped credentials, and a single invoice for both.

PostgreSQL 16 Object storage
Walkthrough

Four steps. Lovable does most of the work.

1Create a Swyftstack account

30 seconds. Click "Create database". Wait ~47 seconds. Copy the connection string.

2Open your Lovable project

Click Settings (gear icon) → Environment Variables / Secrets. Add DATABASE_URL.

3Tell Lovable to use it

"Connect to the database using DATABASE_URL. Create tables for users and [whatever your app stores]. Save data to the database instead of in-memory storage."

4Test it

Sign up as a user in your own app. Close the tab. Reopen. Log back in. If your account is still there, you're done.

Common patterns

Patterns Lovable apps reach for

User accounts

"Add email/password auth and store users in the database." Lovable scaffolds it.

File uploads

"Use the connected S3 storage to handle uploads. Save URLs in the database."

Real-time-ish

Either PostgreSQL LISTEN/NOTIFY, or poll every few seconds. Lovable can wire either.

Frequently asked

What if Lovable says my code has errors after connecting?

Ask Lovable to fix them: "There are errors after connecting the database. Please fix them and make sure the code runs." It usually resolves in one or two iterations.

My data isn't saving - what now?

Ask Lovable: "Add console logs to confirm data is being saved to the database. Also confirm the table exists." Then watch the logs.

Can I move my Lovable app to Vercel later?

Yes. The same DATABASE_URL works wherever Lovable lets you deploy. We're a standard Postgres host.
