Building a saas app with PlanetScale? Let us review it.
Expert code review for saas 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.
SaaS App challenges to solve
Key saas app concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Subscription billing complexity
AI tools generate basic Stripe checkout but miss webhook handling, failed payment recovery, plan upgrades/downgrades, proration, and subscription lifecycle management. Your billing needs to be bulletproof — incorrect charges destroy trust instantly.
Multi-tenant data isolation
Every user's data must be completely isolated. AI-generated code often stores data without proper user scoping, meaning one customer could potentially see another's data. This is a deal-breaker for any business customer.
Authentication and authorization
SaaS needs more than login/signup. You need team management, role-based access control, API key management, SSO for enterprise customers, and secure session handling. AI tools handle basic auth but rarely implement authorization properly.
Uptime and reliability
Paying customers expect your app to work. You need error tracking, monitoring, graceful degradation, database backups, and an incident response plan. AI-generated apps crash ungracefully and have no observability.
What we check
Key areas we review for PlanetScale saas app projects.
Stripe integration — webhooks, subscription lifecycle, failed payment handling
Data isolation — can one user access another's data?
Authentication flows — signup, login, password reset, session management
Authorization — role-based access, team permissions
Not sure if your app passes? Our code audit ($19) checks all of these and more.
