Building a booking system with PlanetScale? Let us review it.
Expert code review for booking systems 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.
Booking System challenges to solve
Key booking system concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Double-booking prevention
Two customers booking the same time slot simultaneously is the most critical failure mode. AI-generated booking logic often has race conditions — checking availability and creating the booking aren't atomic, so two requests can both see the slot as available and both succeed.
Timezone handling
If your provider is in New York and your customer is in Los Angeles, a '2 PM appointment' means different things. AI tools store times in the server's timezone or the developer's local timezone, causing bookings to appear at wrong times for users in other timezones.
Calendar integration and availability
Providers have existing calendars (Google Calendar, Outlook) that affect their availability. Without two-way calendar sync, providers get double-booked with their personal events, or manual availability management becomes a full-time job.
Payment and cancellation policies
Bookings often require deposits or full prepayment. Cancellation policies (full refund within 24 hours, 50% after that, no refund day-of) need precise time-based logic. AI tools implement basic checkout but not the nuanced refund rules that booking businesses need.
What we check
Key areas we review for PlanetScale booking system projects.
Double-booking prevention — atomic availability checks and booking creation
Timezone handling — correct display and storage across all timezones
Payment integration — deposits, refunds, cancellation policy enforcement
Notification pipeline — confirmations, reminders, cancellation alerts
