Building a mvp / prototype with Astro? Let us review it.
Expert code review for mvp / prototype apps 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.
MVP / Prototype challenges to solve
Key mvp / prototype concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Identifying what actually needs fixing
Not everything needs to be production-grade for an MVP. The challenge is knowing which shortcuts are acceptable (visual polish, advanced features) and which aren't (security, data loss, broken core flows). Our audit prioritizes fixes by impact.
Security minimum
Even an MVP handles user data. You need authentication that works, data isolated per user, no exposed secrets, and HTTPS. You don't need enterprise-grade security, but you need the basics done right.
Deployment
Your app runs locally but deploying it involves environment variables, domain configuration, SSL, and build optimization. First-time deployment is where most AI prototypes hit unexpected issues.
Error handling
When something goes wrong (and it will), your users should see a helpful message — not a white screen or a raw error. Basic error handling is the difference between 'this app is buggy' and 'something went wrong, please try again.'
What we check
Key areas we review for Astro mvp / prototype projects.
Core user flow — does signup to core action work reliably?
Authentication — secure login, session handling, password reset
Data security — user data isolation, no exposed secrets
Deployment readiness — env vars, build configuration, domain setup
Not sure if your app passes? Our code audit ($19) checks all of these and more.

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a mvp / prototype built with Astro?
Yes. We regularly audit Astro mvp / prototype projects and understand the specific patterns and pitfalls of this combination. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What issues do you find in Astro mvp / prototype apps?
Common issues include unnecessary client directives and misconfigured ssr adapters on the Astro side, combined with mvp / prototype-specific concerns like identifying what actually needs fixing and security minimum. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Astro mvp / prototype production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Astro mvp / prototype projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address mvp / prototype-specific requirements, optimize Astro performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
