Bubble · Move in steps
You still need the editor answering for backend workflows today. That is fine. Shrink who can Deploy to production from inside the editor, then move one ownership piece — data under export limits, API Connector secrets, or the public ship path — onto a stack you control. Prove privacy rules still hold on that piece before you touch anything else. This is a step-by-step move while workflows stay live, not a weekend uninstall.

Review methodologyIn plain words
Transition here means the editor still runs backend workflows while Deploy authority shrinks and one ownership piece lands on your stack. Export limits stay in the plan. Privacy rules must still make sense after the move. You do not start a second piece until the first one has a written undo and a quiet week of green checks.
Why moving in steps gets its own page
A full migrate or host exit assumes you can cut this week. Plenty of teams cannot. They need invites and billing jobs safe in the editor while one piece of ownership relocates.
Looks clean on a slide. Costs you when workflows, logins, and DNS all break together. Take one ownership piece, prove it, then decide.
If you cannot put that piece back on editor hosting inside a known window, you are not moving in steps — you are hoping.
Two writers on the same journey with no reconcile rule. That is how last week’s “fixed” bug walks back in.
If payments or DNS sit under one founder login, ownership is the first piece — even while the editor still serves workflows.
The order we move things in
Owned stack hardens first. Editor stays for workflows until that piece proves itself.
01
Sandbox workflow work stays; live Deploy needs a reviewed owned path.
02
Both can answer for that ownership piece.
03
Timed undo on paper. Then retire editor Deploy for that piece.
04
No silent dual edits on the same journey.
How to
Keep workflows live. Undo each ownership piece in a set time. Keep users safe.
Step 01
Secrets, data under export limits, or hosting — pick one.
Step 02
Both can answer for that piece.
Step 03
Known window to put the piece back on editor hosting.
Step 04
Watch. Support knows both tracks.
Step 05
Finish one move before you start another.

Narrow critical Deploy-only production paths → stand owned stack + secrets → move data and Auth as ownership pieces → prove privacy-rule coherence → require owned-stack ship → retire editor Deploy for that piece. Undo stays available until the final host kill-switch.
Yes — allow editor work for sandbox prototypes while production merges only through the owned stack, then tighten when health holds. Downtime stays planned near zero.
Write it down: which workflows sandbox may still change, which services eng owns, who holds vault access. Unowned dual edits are how last week’s fix walks back in.
When you already need a full practiced workflow cutover this week, or when you only need a wrap before ads hit the live app. Then migrate, get-off, or harden is the honest page.
Bring which parts still Deploy only from the editor, who holds the domain, and how you would undo a bad cut. We put the moves in order before we talk about a full exit.
