I would not pick Lovable or any AI app builder solely because it signed a multiyear Google Cloud deal. Partnerships matter for uptime, credits, and roadmap. They do not replace whether the tool fits your team.
What cloud deals can mean
Better hosting terms.
Deeper integrations.
Survival signal for a young company.
What they do not mean
Your app is safe from vendor lock-in.
Export paths are painless.
Pricing stays friendly forever.
Due diligence
Can you host elsewhere?
Who owns the generated code?
What happens to env vars and secrets?
Cloud deals are infrastructure marriage. Marry tools that let you walk out if the relationship sours.
