Built doesn't mean operated.
“Vibe coding” — building apps by chatting with an AI — was Collins Dictionary's Word of the Year 2025. Tools like Lovable and Replit have made it real: someone on your team describes an app, and hours later it exists. That part is genuinely good — the need is proven, the prototype works.
The problem starts when the prototype quietly becomes a company tool. The app runs in the vendor's cloud — Replit hosts published apps in the US by default, and with Lovable the data region is fixed once activated. Sign-in is its own island instead of your company login. And your IT can neither see nor manage the app: classic shadow IT, now with company data in it.
That this is not theoretical is documented: in May 2025, security researchers published CVE-2025-48757 — 170 of 1,645 analysed Lovable apps had database tables readable without authentication (Lovable now ships a built-in security scan). In July 2025, Replit's AI agent deleted a production database in a widely reported incident (Replit has since separated dev and production databases). Both vendors reacted — but both cases show what unattended operations can mean.
This is where company apps are being built today.
A prompt box instead of a project plan: Lovable and Replit turn a description into a working app. If one of these screens looks familiar, the next step is making the result company-grade.
What carries over — and what we move.
This carries over
- Your React frontend — components, design, user flows
- Your code ownership: both vendors let you export to GitHub
- The proven idea — the app your team already wants to use
- Building with AI: the ported app remains a normal React codebase
This moves to the Microsoft platform
- Sign-in: island auth becomes Microsoft Entra ID — your company login, incl. Conditional Access
- Database: Supabase/Neon Postgres becomes Dataverse or SQL — in your tenant, in your region
- Server logic: edge functions and Express backends become connectors, Power Automate or Azure Functions
- Operations: the app appears in the Power Platform admin center — visible, governed, centrally managed
Your frontend keeps working — sign-in, data and operations move onto the platform your IT already runs.
We deliberately don't promise a 1:1 copy: newer Lovable apps (SSR-based) and Replit apps with their own Express backend need more rework. We assess what carries over in your case — on your actual app, in the free review.
Why the Power Platform is the right home.
The technical basis is Power Apps Code Apps — generally available since February 2026. They let React apps run as first-class Power Platform apps.
Company sign-in
Microsoft Entra ID out of the box — including Conditional Access and your existing security policies.
Centrally managed
Your IT sees the app in the admin center: DLP policies, sharing limits, monitoring — no more shadow IT.
Connected
Dataverse and 1,000+ connectors to Microsoft 365, Teams, Dynamics 365 and your existing systems.
Data where you are
Data stays in your tenant's region — Switzerland is its own Microsoft cloud region.

From prototype to company app.
1 · App review
We look at your Lovable or Replit app together: what carries over, what needs rebuilding, which data it touches. You get a fixed-price quote — before the project, not after.
2 · Porting
We take over the frontend, connect Entra ID, move the data to Dataverse or SQL and rebuild server logic on connectors or Azure Functions. Deployed into your environment.
3 · Operations & evolution
The app runs centrally in your tenant, visible to your IT. Keep building with AI if you like — changes now reach production in a controlled way, through your team or ours.
Good to know: end users of Code Apps need a Power Apps Premium licence — we include the licence assessment in the review.
