Why Lovable, Vercel and Supabase Are The Wrong Stack for AI Development

and What You Should Use Instead

Move over SaaSocalypse.
Welcome to the PaaSocalypse.

Narrow PaaS platforms are the wrong choice for building and deploying AI agents and applications. Agents easily span all of the technology, data, workflow and security needs of complex solutions.

Why Narrow PaaS Platforms Fall Short

PaaS integrations have high latency, cost, and a terrible security profile. Vercel -> Supabase -> SSO -> Search engine -> Workflow engine… it’s insane.
Technology selection- this is a fast moving industry, and you need to be able to use different technology and languages. Narrow PaaS is 5 year old bet.
Cheap analytics is essential… and the PaaS egress tax for managing telemetry and logging is insane.
The need for a singular identity and authorization layer across all services and agents is fragile and tenuous in narrow PaaS.
Durable execution and event queues. They are shipping unproven narrow solutions that work with limited languages and technologies. Real AI applications aren’t “build in a weekend, scale to millions” prototype solutions.
GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) for critical corporate data and activities. Are you willing to be that most applications DON’T move on prem to be colocated for data and agentic workflows?
Multiple fully managed test and validation environment. Building on a front-end PR is a naive and massively limiting workflow.

The benefit of PaaS is ease of use and outsourced operations and compliance. These two curves- capability vs convenience - have flipped with agentic development and agentic operations.

In the agentic world, more capability IS more convenience

Get access to more “raw materials” for the agents.
Agentic systems can handle the complexity, so you get it at maximum agentic conversational convenience.
Everything is co-located and running on a common infrastructure for data and security.

Kubernetes Is the Answer—Kilter Changes the Experience

Kubernetes is the answer for this but historically too complex for both application development and hosting. Kilter changes this, allowing developers to build agentically directly against Kubernetes managed infrastructure, with a better developer experience and more powerful platform than any traditional narrow PaaS platform.

Reserve your spot

See How It Works

kilter init

… development in Claude Code while Claude uses the right infrastructure…

kilter deploy

And your app is running with Go, Python, TypeScript, Temporal, Kafka, Postgres, Redis, ElasticSearch, in the open source cloud with high availability, point-in-time postgres backups, full INTEGRATED logging and ZERO lockin

Deploy It Your Way

If you don’t want to host yourself, Paddington.io is a Kilter and managed Kubernetes hosting company… without the lockin.

OR

kilter package

to bundle for deployment on your own internal Kubernete’s production pipelines.

Replace Vercel, Lovable, Replit, Render, and Supabase with one tool that brings the full power of open source to both agentic development and infrastructure.

Who you'll learn from

Nick Van Weerdenburg

CEO, Rangle.io

Nick is the founder and CEO of Rangle.io Inc. He has been doing JavaScript since 1998 and Angular and React since 2013 and 2015. Rangle's first AI work was on IBM Watson in 2016. He was LLM-pilled in 2023 and Claude-pilled in June 2025 and is now a polyglot agentic developer (Go, Python, and TypeScript mostly). Rangle's mission has been building better software from the user's perspective with scaled lean/agile practices — now almost exclusively done agentically.
