Base44 → production

What is Base44?

Fast prototypes and managed full-stack apps with export/ownership considerations. Base44 uses React as its primary stack, with Managed DB for backend services.

Production Checklist for Base44

Every Base44 app needs these production essentials before going live:

1. Code ownership: Export your code to a GitHub repository you control
2. Environment variables: Move all secrets out of client code
3. Database migrations: Set up versioned schema changes
4. Authentication: Configure OAuth callbacks for your production domain
5. Monitoring: Add error tracking before your first real user
6. Backups: Enable automated backups and test restore

Common Base44 Production Mistakes

• Leaving code only in the builder's platform with no export
• Using builder-provided URLs instead of owning your domain
• Not separating preview and production environments
• Skipping webhook verification for payments
• Forgetting to add monitoring before launch
