Now you can bring your dream application to life with Aiven and Lovable.dev, all within just a few chat prompts.
Developers love tools that make their workflows smoother, and that’s why the idea of integrating Aiven with Lovable.dev is so exciting! While not an official integration (yet), combining Aiven's fully managed cloud services with Lovable.dev’s focus on delightful developer experiences opens up new possibilities. Imagine streamlined database management, improved performance, and a more enjoyable development workflow, all with the tools you already love. Let’s explore how these two can work together to create something truly special!
Now that we understand why Aiven + Lovable.dev is an exciting combination, let’s walk through the integration process step by step.
Start by creating your PostgreSQL, MySQL, or any preferred database service in Aiven. The setup is straightforward and only takes a few clicks.
Once your database service is created, you will have the necessary connection details. This includes the host, port, username, password and the CA certificate that we’ll need for the next steps.
With your database running and connection details in hand, you are ready to integrate it into your application.
Now, let’s head over to Lovable.dev to set up the Aiven integration.
Begin by sharing your dream application idea with Lovable.dev in your first prompt.

Now that we have the skeleton of your dream app, let's integrate Supabase functions and GitHub.
We chose Supabase mainly because of its official integration with Lovable.dev, but this is just one approach. You can easily replace it with AWS Lambda, Firebase Functions, or any other backend service that fits your needs.
Click on Supabase → Select your organization → Connect
Click on Edit Code → Transfer repository → Connect your account
We've developed a Supabase Edge Function to interface with the Aiven client.
This function facilitates communication between Lovable.dev and your Aiven database. Here, you'll input your database connection details to establish the link.
Add this code under /supabase/functions/database path in your project.
To simplify things, we’ve prepared an Aiven client that handles all essential database operations. It allows you to create, update, delete, and manage tables effortlessly.
You can find the code here.
Lets send this prompt to Lovable:

What This Prompt Achieves:
With this prompt, Lovable.dev will know how to communicate with Aiven, deploy the function, and configure everything correctly, ensuring a smooth and efficient database integration. 🚀
Now, let’s ask to add update, delete, and create tables functionality.
Loading code...
With just a few clicks, we have a fully functional application seamlessly integrated with Aiven's managed PostgreSQL service. 🚀
Aiven's free tier outperforms alternatives in most key resources. It offers 1 GB RAM (vs. 500 MB), 2 dedicated CPUs (vs. shared CPU), and a 5 GB database (vs. 500 MB, 10x larger).
With Aiven and Lovable.dev, getting started on your dream app is effortless. This approach streamlines development, optimizes database management, and lets you focus on building great applications. The possibilities are endless! Go ahead and bring your ideas to life! 🚀
Create a task management app with a beautiful design
I want to integrate Aiven client with my app and use the "database" edge function for all database operations.
The Aiven client already supports table creation, update and delete queries.
Create the relevant tables for me on app initialization.
