You vibe-coded an app. Now ship it for $0.
Lovable, Cursor, v0, and Bolt are extraordinary at turning prompts into working apps. They're less extraordinary at the boring last 10% — your own domain, your own cloud, your own bill that stays $0. Cheaploy does exactly that.
The vibe-coder deployment problem
You can build a full SaaS in an afternoon with an AI coding tool. Then the questions hit:
- Where does this actually run when I share the URL?
- What happens if it goes viral — does my bill spike?
- How do I move off the platform's preview URL without becoming a DevOps engineer?
- Do I have to learn Vercel? AWS? Docker? Kubernetes?
Cheaploy is the answer to all of these. You stay in the vibe-coder workflow — describe, generate, ship — and infrastructure is one click.
How it works for Lovable / Cursor / v0 / Bolt apps
- Export. From Lovable: project settings → download ZIP, or connect GitHub. From Cursor/v0/Bolt: push to GitHub.
- Upload. Paste the GitHub URL into Cheaploy or drag the ZIP in.
- Connect Oracle Cloud. One-time OAuth (free to create, no credit card).
- Deploy. Cheaploy detects the framework, generates a Dockerfile, provisions ARM compute + load balancer + SSL, and ships it. Average time: 8 minutes.
- Point your domain. One DNS record. Done.
What you don't have to learn
- Docker — Cheaploy generates and tunes the Dockerfile.
- Oracle Cloud Console — Cheaploy abstracts the 60+ services.
- Kubernetes — single-VM Docker Compose unless you genuinely need scale.
- SSL / certificates — Let's Encrypt is wired in.
- DNS — Cheaploy gives you the record values; you paste them.
The "but my app is just a Lovable preview" objection
Preview URLs are great for sharing with friends. They're not great for paying customers, SEO (Google doesn't index preview subdomains), branding, or auth providers (Google OAuth wants a stable redirect URL on your domain). Cheaploy gives you the production environment your AI-built app deserves — without giving up the AI workflow.
What it costs
$0/month, perpetually. Oracle Cloud Always Free covers the infrastructure (2 ARM CPUs, 12GB RAM, 200GB storage, 10TB egress, 2 databases). Cheaploy charges a flat monthly platform fee for the managed DevOps automation. The only paid path is if you grow past Oracle's free limits — at which point you're paying Oracle directly for what you use, and you still own the account.
Not a developer at all? The guide for non-technical founders walks through the same launch in plain English. Already paying for Vercel, a hosted database, and an email provider? Paste one of the Always Free migration prompts into your AI builder and let it plan the move.
Frequently asked
How do I get my Lovable app out of Lovable?+
Lovable lets you download a ZIP or push to GitHub from project settings. Cheaploy accepts both — paste the GitHub URL or drag-drop the ZIP.
Does this work for Cursor / v0 / Bolt apps too?+
Yes. Cheaploy is framework-agnostic — Vite, Next.js, Remix, Astro, plain Node, Python, FastAPI, Go. If your AI tool produces a runnable repo, Cheaploy deploys it.
What if my app needs a database?+
Oracle's Always Free tier includes 2 Autonomous Databases (Postgres-compatible, 20GB each). Cheaploy auto-provisions one and injects DATABASE_URL into your container.
Can I keep using Lovable's preview while production runs on Cheaploy?+
Yes. Lovable's preview URL keeps working for development. Your production domain points at the Cheaploy deploy on your Oracle account. Two-environment workflow, zero infra cost.
What about the Lovable badge?+
Once you deploy on your own cloud, the badge is your call — you control the deployed bundle.
