Test and Live Environments is Lovable's Cloud feature: Separate dev and production Cloud environments — removed 2026-03-24.
Test and Live Environments provided isolated dev and prod databases inside Lovable Cloud with one-way data copies and automatic backups before each publish. Discontinued for new projects as of March 24, 2026; existing Cloud projects retained access but cannot re-enable once removed.
Test and Live Environments is one surface of Lovable Cloud — the managed backend behind Lovable apps, covering Postgres, storage, authentication, edge functions, and model access inside a single project.
