Set up infrastructure for your Base44 app
AI tools often generate a frontend with a placeholder backend. You need a real database, proper authentication, email delivery, file storage, and API integrations. We set up production-grade infrastructure that's reliable, secure, and scalable. We specialize in Base44 projects and know exactly what to look for.
Infrastructure issues we find in Base44 apps
These are real infrastructure problems we see in Base44 projects during our audits.
Platform lock-in makes it expensive to migrate to self-hosted infrastructure
Base44 applications run on Base44's infrastructure with proprietary abstractions. If you need to migrate to AWS, Vercel, or a custom backend, you must substantially rewrite the application since the generated code is tightly coupled to Base44's runtime.
Auto-generated backend API lacks input validation and allows malformed data into the database
Base44's generated REST API endpoints often accept and persist any data that matches the field type without business-rule validation - missing required fields, out-of-range values, or invalid relationships are stored without error.
Authentication flows use platform-managed auth that cannot be customized for enterprise SSO
The built-in authentication covers email/password and social login but does not support SAML, LDAP, or enterprise SSO providers. B2B applications that need to integrate with customer identity providers cannot use Base44's auth system.
Row-level permissions in the generated app may not enforce data isolation between users
Unless explicitly configured, Base44 may not enforce row-level security - one user can potentially query or manipulate another user's records through the API if they know the correct record IDs.
What our infrastructure covers
Everything included when we infrastructure your Base44 project.
Database setup
Choosing the right database (PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.), schema design, migrations, and connection management.
Authentication system
Email/password, OAuth (Google, GitHub), magic links, session management, and role-based access control.
API design
REST or GraphQL API structure, input validation, error handling, and documentation.
Email integration
Transactional emails (signup, password reset, notifications) with Resend, SendGrid, or Postmark.
File storage
Image uploads, document storage, CDN delivery with S3, Cloudflare R2, or Supabase Storage.
Third-party integrations
Stripe payments, webhook handling, external API connections, and service orchestration.

Frequently asked questions
Does my Base44 app need backend infrastructure?
If your app stores data, has user accounts, processes payments, or calls external APIs, yes. Base44 often generates minimal backend code that works for demos but breaks with real users. We set up proper infrastructure.
What infrastructure do you set up for Base44 apps?
Depends on what your app needs: database with proper schema and security rules, authentication (Supabase, Firebase, or Clerk), API routes with error handling, file storage, email services, and hosting. We recommend only what you actually need.
How much does infrastructure setup cost?
Infrastructure setup starts at $500 depending on complexity. This includes database design, auth setup, API architecture, hosting, and documentation so you understand what we built. We give you a fixed quote upfront.
Can you add a database to my Base44 app?
Yes. We commonly set up Supabase or Firebase for Base44 apps. This includes designing the schema, setting up row-level security, writing migration scripts, and connecting everything to your frontend.
