Building a saas app with Go? Let us review it.
Expert code review for saas apps built with Go. We fix Go-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Go issues we find
Real problems from Go codebases we've reviewed.
Ignored error returns
The most common AI-generated Go anti-pattern: using _ to discard error returns from functions. Errors are silently ignored, and the code continues with zero or nil values, causing subtle data corruption.
Goroutine leaks
Goroutines spawned without context cancellation or timeout. They accumulate over time, consuming memory and causing the application to slow down and eventually crash.
Insecure default HTTP server
Using http.ListenAndServe with no timeouts configured. The default Go HTTP server has no read, write, or idle timeouts — making it vulnerable to slowloris and resource exhaustion attacks.
SQL injection via string formatting
Building SQL queries with fmt.Sprintf instead of using parameterized queries with database/sql placeholders, enabling injection attacks.
SaaS App challenges to solve
Key saas app concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Subscription billing complexity
AI tools generate basic Stripe checkout but miss webhook handling, failed payment recovery, plan upgrades/downgrades, proration, and subscription lifecycle management. Your billing needs to be bulletproof — incorrect charges destroy trust instantly.
Multi-tenant data isolation
Every user's data must be completely isolated. AI-generated code often stores data without proper user scoping, meaning one customer could potentially see another's data. This is a deal-breaker for any business customer.
Authentication and authorization
SaaS needs more than login/signup. You need team management, role-based access control, API key management, SSO for enterprise customers, and secure session handling. AI tools handle basic auth but rarely implement authorization properly.
Uptime and reliability
Paying customers expect your app to work. You need error tracking, monitoring, graceful degradation, database backups, and an incident response plan. AI-generated apps crash ungracefully and have no observability.
What we check
Key areas we review for Go saas app projects.
Stripe integration — webhooks, subscription lifecycle, failed payment handling
Data isolation — can one user access another's data?
Authentication flows — signup, login, password reset, session management
Authorization — role-based access, team permissions

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a saas app built with Go?
Yes. We regularly audit Go saas app 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 Go saas apps?
Common issues include ignored error returns and goroutine leaks on the Go side, combined with saas app-specific concerns like subscription billing complexity and multi-tenant data isolation. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Go saas app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Go saas app projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address saas app-specific requirements, optimize Go performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
