Building a e-commerce store with PlanetScale? Let us review it.
Expert code review for e-commerce stores 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.
E-Commerce Store challenges to solve
Key e-commerce store concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Payment security and PCI compliance
You're handling credit card transactions. While Stripe and similar services handle PCI compliance on their end, your integration must not expose card data, must verify webhook signatures, and must handle failed payments gracefully.
Inventory management
What happens when two customers buy the last item simultaneously? AI tools don't implement inventory locking or race condition prevention. Overselling damages trust and creates costly fulfillment problems.
Order processing pipeline
Orders move through states: pending, confirmed, processing, shipped, delivered. Each transition triggers actions (emails, inventory updates, accounting entries). AI tools build the checkout but not the order lifecycle.
Shipping and tax calculation
Real shipping costs vary by weight, destination, and carrier. Sales tax varies by jurisdiction. These calculations need to be accurate and up-to-date — getting them wrong is either illegal (tax) or margin-killing (shipping).
What we check
Key areas we review for PlanetScale e-commerce store projects.
Payment integration — Stripe checkout, webhook verification, refund handling
Inventory management — stock tracking, oversell prevention
Order lifecycle — state machine, status emails, admin management
Security — PCI best practices, data protection, auth on admin routes
