Production Dependencies
Site uptime is tied to Builder.io's platform through required production dependencies that can't be directly controlled. No multi-CDN solutions or caching failovers.
Migrate from Builder.io to Stackbit
Migrate from Builder.io to Stackbit
Builder.io is an all-in-one wall-gardened site builder coupled with a CMS, generally better suited while your team is small and has low traffic. As teams and traffic grow, and practice modern engineering with marketing, content ops and design will prefer to graduate to an open and flexible architecture.
”The integration with Stackbit was straightforward and super simple. Other companies told us we had to write adapters or wrap their code around our components and register them. With Stackbit it was just adding one file and a few doze lines of code.”
”With Stackbit, we are able to implement whatever functionality our customers and our teams need without any limitations.”
4 reasons companies upgrade from Builder.io
No code portability
Adding custom components requires adhering to specific frameworks and code registration. Code written for Builder.io isn't portable beyond Builder.io and will need to be refactored.
No guardrails on design
Builder's free-form in-browser designer stirs editors to ignore your team's design system, resulting in inconsistencies and a weakened brand identity.
Unpredictable variable costs
Builder charges customers based on site traffic which can be hard to predict and expensive at scale.
What to expect after migrating?
Complete freedom to work with the tools and frameworks you prefer, without needing to adhere to specific frameworks or extra API calls. Finally, deploy to any cloud provider of your choice, integrate with any 3rd party and utilize any content source directly (headless CMS, legacy databases, flat files, Figma and more). With no vendor lock-in or dependencies, you can make the right choices for your team, save costs and drive impact.
