Building a social platform with FastAPI? Let us review it.
Expert code review for social platforms built with FastAPI. We fix FastAPI-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common FastAPI issues we find
Real problems from FastAPI codebases we've reviewed.
Blocking calls inside async endpoints
Synchronous database calls, file operations, or HTTP requests inside async def endpoints block the entire event loop, making your API unresponsive under load.
Missing authentication on endpoints
API routes that handle sensitive data or actions without any auth middleware — Depends() for authentication is simply not included in the route definition.
No CORS configuration
CORSMiddleware either missing (blocking all cross-origin requests) or set to allow_origins=['*'] (allowing any website to call your API).
Pydantic models without validation constraints
Request models that accept any string length, any number range, and any format. No Field() constraints, so invalid data flows through your system.
Social Platform challenges to solve
Key social platform concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Content moderation and safety
Users will post spam, harassment, illegal content, and misinformation. You need automated content filtering, user reporting flows, admin moderation tools, and clear community guidelines enforcement. Launching without moderation is a legal and reputational risk.
Feed algorithm and performance
A chronological feed is simple but doesn't scale — loading thousands of posts to sort them on every request kills performance. AI tools build basic feeds that work with 50 posts but crawl with 50,000. You need pagination, caching, and potentially a ranking algorithm.
User-generated content storage
Images, videos, and files uploaded by users need proper storage — CDN delivery, format optimization, size limits, and malware scanning. AI tools implement basic file upload but skip content delivery optimization and security scanning.
Notification system
Likes, comments, follows, mentions, and messages all generate notifications across multiple channels — in-app, push, and email. Building a notification system that's timely without being spammy, and that handles user preferences, is a complex infrastructure challenge.
What we check
Key areas we review for FastAPI social platform projects.
Content moderation — automated filtering, reporting flow, admin tools
Feed performance — pagination, caching, query optimization
Media handling — CDN delivery, image optimization, upload limits
Privacy controls — blocking, profile visibility, data export

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a social platform built with FastAPI?
Yes. We regularly audit FastAPI social platform 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 FastAPI social platforms?
Common issues include blocking calls inside async endpoints and missing authentication on endpoints on the FastAPI side, combined with social platform-specific concerns like content moderation and safety and feed algorithm and performance. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my FastAPI social platform production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For FastAPI social platform projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address social platform-specific requirements, optimize FastAPI performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
