Building a developer tool with Astro? Let us review it.
Expert code review for developer tools built with Astro. We fix Astro-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Astro issues we find
Real problems from Astro codebases we've reviewed.
Unnecessary client directives
Using client:load on components that don't need interactivity, shipping JavaScript that negates Astro's zero-JS advantage.
Misconfigured SSR adapters
Server-side rendering adapter not properly configured for the deployment target, causing build failures or runtime errors in production.
Island hydration mismatches
React, Vue, or Svelte islands that fail to hydrate correctly due to server/client rendering differences, causing layout shifts and broken interactions.
Missing image optimization
Using raw <img> tags instead of Astro's built-in <Image> component, serving unoptimized images that slow page loads.
Developer Tool challenges to solve
Key developer tool concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Error messages and developer experience
Developers expect error messages that tell them exactly what went wrong, why, and how to fix it. AI-generated tools return generic 'Something went wrong' messages or raw stack traces. Good DX means every error is actionable and every edge case has a helpful response.
API design and consistency
Developer tools live or die by their API surface — whether REST endpoints, CLI arguments, or SDK methods. Naming must be consistent, behavior must be predictable, and breaking changes must be versioned. AI tools generate functional but inconsistent APIs that frustrate developers.
Documentation and examples
Developers won't use your tool if they can't figure it out quickly. You need API reference docs, getting-started guides, code examples in multiple languages, and a changelog. AI tools build the tool but not the documentation ecosystem around it.
Performance and latency
Developer tools are often in the critical path of other developers' workflows — slow API responses, laggy CLIs, or unresponsive dashboards directly waste their time. Every millisecond matters. AI-generated tools have unoptimized database queries and no caching.
What we check
Key areas we review for Astro developer tool projects.
API design — consistent naming, predictable behavior, proper status codes
Error handling — actionable error messages for every failure mode
Authentication — API key generation, rotation, scoped permissions
Rate limiting — per-key limits, usage tracking, quota management
