Bubble to Code Migrations | AWS | Hybrid Bubble + Code Architecture

I help companies migrate their Bubble applications to scalable, code-based architectures on AWS — progressively, without downtime, and without rebuilding from scratch. I'm a software developer with 5 years of experience across Bubble and traditional code (Node.js, React, Python). Right now I work daily on exactly this problem, in two production environments: 🏭 VEXTA — an industrial AI platform for critical assets in Oil & Gas. I build and maintain a hybrid Bubble + code architecture: Bubble frontend connected to multiple external backends, heavy third-party integrations, and enterprise SSO (Login with Microsoft / Azure AD). This is the hybrid model I recommend to most clients as the first migration step — and I run it in production every day. ⚡ Enexus (Panama) — as part-time Technical Lead, I drive architecture decisions and the progressive migration of a production Bubble app to microservices on AWS. Selected results: ✅ Cut critical dashboard load times from 20s to 5s (75% faster) through stress testing and optimization ✅ Designed and built a custom backup & data distribution service outside Bubble — moving critical data functionality to independent infrastructure ✅ Led penetration testing and security hardening of the production app ✅ Trained the internal dev team in AI-assisted development workflows Why this matters to you: Bubble is excellent for launching fast, but as your product grows you hit its limits — performance, rising costs, scalability, vendor lock-in. Because I work on both sides every day, I know how to plan migrations that keep your business running while your stack evolves: one service at a time, with your app fully functional until each piece is safely replaced. 🔁 What I can do for you ✅ Migration audit & roadmap: an honest assessment of what to migrate, in what order — and what should stay in Bubble ✅ Hybrid architectures: Bubble frontend + code backend (the proven first step — I run one in production) ✅ Progressive migrations: rebuilding Bubble workflows as services and APIs while your app keeps running ✅ AWS infrastructure: Lambda, ECS, S3, RDS, API Gateway, CloudFront ✅ Database migration from Bubble to PostgreSQL / MongoDB ✅ Enterprise integrations: Microsoft/Azure AD SSO, Stripe, WhatsApp, CRMs, custom APIs ✅ Performance, security & scalability work on existing Bubble apps (you don't need to migrate to work with me) Also experienced with: MERN stack, Python, AI integrations (OpenAI, Claude, RAG systems), and automation with n8n & webhooks. 🛡️ How I work Migrations fail from poor process, not poor code. Every project with me includes: a staging environment for testing before anything touches production, a rollback plan for each migrated component, weekly progress updates with working demos, and full documentation and handover — your team owns everything I build. Availability: 15-20 hours per week — ideal for migration roadmaps, progressive migrations, and ongoing optimization of production apps. If your Bubble app is hitting its limits — slow pages, rising costs, features you can't build, enterprise clients asking for SSO — send me a message. I'll tell you honestly whether migration makes sense for your case, and give you a clear plan if it does.
