Building a education platform with Netlify? Let us review it.
Expert code review for education platforms built with Netlify. We fix Netlify-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Netlify issues we find
Real problems from Netlify codebases we've reviewed.
Missing redirect rules for SPAs
Single-page apps without a _redirects file or netlify.toml rewrite rules, causing 404 errors when users navigate directly to routes.
Environment variable misconfiguration
Build-time vs runtime environment variable confusion, or sensitive keys set in the wrong context (deploy previews, branch deploys).
Serverless function cold starts
Netlify Functions with large dependencies or no connection pooling, causing timeout errors on the first invocation after idle periods.
Missing build optimization
No caching configured for node_modules or build artifacts, causing unnecessarily long build times and deployment delays.
Education Platform challenges to solve
Key education platform concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Student data privacy
Education platforms often handle data protected by FERPA, COPPA (if serving minors), or GDPR. Student names, grades, progress data, and behavioral analytics all have privacy requirements. AI tools store this data with no awareness of these regulations.
Content access control and paywalls
Paid courses need reliable access gating — enrolled students see course content, everyone else sees the sales page. AI tools generate client-side checks that can be bypassed by inspecting the page source. Server-side content gating with proper enrollment verification is essential.
Progress tracking accuracy
Students expect their progress to be saved reliably — completed lessons, quiz scores, certificates earned. Losing a student's progress is the fastest way to lose their trust. AI-generated progress tracking often uses local storage or has race conditions that lose data.
Video content delivery
Course videos need to stream smoothly at various connection speeds, support seeking, and be protected from unauthorized downloading. AI tools embed videos directly without adaptive bitrate streaming, CDN delivery, or content protection.
What we check
Key areas we review for Netlify education platform projects.
Content access control — server-side enrollment verification, no client-side bypasses
Progress tracking — reliable save/restore, no data loss on navigation or crashes
Payment integration — enrollment on payment, access revocation on refund
Student data privacy — compliance with FERPA/COPPA/GDPR as applicable
