Building a marketplace with Node.js? Let us review it.
Expert code review for marketplace apps built with Node.js. We fix Node.js-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Node.js issues we find
Real problems from Node.js codebases we've reviewed.
No input validation
Request bodies and query parameters accepted without validation, enabling injection attacks and unexpected data types.
Missing rate limiting
No rate limiting on auth endpoints, API routes, or resource-intensive operations, enabling brute-force and DoS attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Unhandled promise rejections crash the Node.js process in production, taking the entire server down.
Memory leaks
Event listeners not cleaned up, growing arrays/maps, and unclosed connections that gradually consume all available memory.
Marketplace challenges to solve
Key marketplace concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Payment splitting and payouts
Buyers pay, the platform takes a cut, sellers receive the rest. This requires Stripe Connect or similar — significantly more complex than basic checkout. AI tools rarely implement this correctly, leaving you with manual payout processes.
Two-sided authorization
Sellers can manage their listings but not other sellers'. Buyers can view listings but only manage their own orders. Admins can moderate everything. Three distinct permission levels, all enforced server-side.
Trust and safety
Reviews, ratings, dispute resolution, content moderation, and fraud detection. These are complex systems that AI tools don't generate but that make or break a marketplace.
Search and discovery
Users need to find what they're looking for. Basic database queries won't cut it at scale — you need full-text search, filters, sorting, and potentially geolocation. This requires proper indexing or a dedicated search service.
What we check
Key areas we review for Node.js marketplace projects.
Payment flow — Stripe Connect setup, split payments, seller payouts
Authorization — buyer vs seller vs admin permissions enforced server-side
Data integrity — race conditions, inventory management, order state machines
Search performance — indexing, query optimization, full-text search

Yes. We regularly audit Node.js marketplace 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 Node.js marketplace apps?
Common issues include no input validation and missing rate limiting on the Node.js side, combined with marketplace-specific concerns like payment splitting and payouts and two-sided authorization. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Node.js marketplace production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Node.js marketplace projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address marketplace-specific requirements, optimize Node.js performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
