Building a social platform with Netlify? Let us review it.
Expert code review for social 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.
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 Netlify 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
