Building a blog & cms with PlanetScale? Let us review it.
Expert code review for blog & cms apps built with PlanetScale. We fix PlanetScale-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common PlanetScale issues we find
Real problems from PlanetScale codebases we've reviewed.
Foreign key constraint workarounds
PlanetScale doesn't support traditional foreign keys. AI-generated code creates them anyway, causing deployment failures, or skips referential integrity entirely.
Connection string exposure
PlanetScale database URLs with credentials committed to source control or embedded in client-side code.
Missing connection pooling
Serverless functions opening new connections on every invocation instead of using PlanetScale's connection pooling or @planetscale/database driver.
No branch workflow for schema changes
Schema changes deployed directly to the main branch without using PlanetScale's deploy request workflow, risking production data.
Blog & CMS challenges to solve
Key blog & cms concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
SEO and metadata management
Every blog post needs unique meta titles, descriptions, Open Graph images, canonical URLs, and structured data for rich search results. AI tools render the post content but skip the metadata layer that determines whether anyone finds it through Google.
Content editing workflow
Writers need drafts, previews, scheduled publishing, and revision history. AI-generated CMS platforms usually offer a basic text input and a publish button — no draft states, no content scheduling, and no way to revert a bad edit.
Image and media handling
Blog images need to be resized, compressed, served in modern formats (WebP/AVIF), and lazy-loaded. AI tools embed full-resolution images directly, which tanks page speed and eats storage. You need an image pipeline, not just an upload button.
Role-based access for authors and editors
Multi-author blogs need permission tiers — authors write, editors approve, admins manage settings. AI-generated auth is all-or-nothing: you're either logged in with full access or you're a reader. Server-side authorization for content operations is almost always missing.
What we check
Key areas we review for PlanetScale blog & cms projects.
SEO — meta tags, Open Graph, structured data, canonical URLs, sitemap
Page speed — image optimization, static generation, caching strategy
Content workflow — draft/publish states, scheduled publishing, revision history
Authorization — author vs editor vs admin permissions enforced server-side
