Why Your AI-Built App Stops Growing (And What Actually Fixes It) You built something in Lovable or Bolt in a weekend. It works. Users signed up. Revenue happened. Then you hit the wall. The app slows down. Your database lives on their servers. You can't customize the auth flow. You need a rollback but there's no deployment history. You want to integrate with your existing infrastructure and suddenly the builder platform isn't designed for that. This isn't a failure on your part. It's a fundamental mismatch: AI builders optimize for iteration speed, not production scale.
