The cutover, hour by hour
A no-downtime migration is mostly arithmetic done days ahead. Cloudflare unproxied records go down to a 60 second TTL on non-Enterprise plans, proxied ones sit fixed at 300. Dual writes, a read-only window you can time, and the rollback you build and hope never to press.

Restoring from a backup you have never tested
Webflow, Airtable and Supabase all offer recovery, but only one of them hands you a file you can restore somewhere else. Airtable snapshots restore into a new base with a new app ID; Supabase PITR replays WAL to the second from about $100 a month.

When the content model outgrows the CMS
Webflow allows 10 reference fields per collection on non-Enterprise site plans and 20 on Enterprise. What that ceiling does to a content model, and when a real schema starts paying for itself.

The rate limit you inherit
Airtable caps its API at 5 requests per second per base. Webflow gives a Basic site 60 per minute. Those ceilings are not bugs, they are the product, and they become your architecture.

Who holds your users' passwords
Auth0 will not let you download your own password hashes from the dashboard. You open a support case, generate a 4096-bit PGP key, and wait. That is what renting authentication actually costs.

The accessibility fixes you cannot ship
Webflow's Audit panel runs four accessibility checks. WCAG 2.2 added nine success criteria in 2023, and the ones a visual builder cannot reach are the ones that live in the DOM: focus order, skip links, and ARIA on widgets you did not write.
