Ok. The client loves the POC and wants us to finish the entire project. Now what? Can we get access to the underlying code to scale up to all the project needs (current & future? Or, is bubble just a nice way to get your foot in the door?
Bubble is definitely a efficient way to get the foot in the door (product to market to be specific). However I believe that the answer to your question requires more thorough approach.
What kind of product we're building?
Maybe the feature list is fully supported with bubble and there is no need to migrate anywhere.
Bubble supports integration with external API meaning, you can build backend services for some complex stuff, while still using Bubble for UI part of it.
Bubble supports integration with external database, meaning that we can do the migration of data to DB server with better performances and still use Bubble for UI part of it.
Bubble exposes data through API as well, so we can connect with our own services to its database.
I guess it's a case-by-case thing. It's important to be aware of possibilities so that proper migration plan can be set. This is one of my next topics to cover "How to reduce the risks of complex migrations from Bubble".
This is a great overview of everything you need to get started with bubble. I'm using it too and you did a great job, congrats Dusko!
Thanks @Ago! Looking forward to learn from you as well!
