Building a dashboard with Ruby on Rails? Let us review it.
Expert code review for dashboards built with Ruby on Rails. We fix Ruby on Rails-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Ruby on Rails issues we find
Real problems from Ruby on Rails codebases we've reviewed.
Mass assignment vulnerabilities
AI-generated Rails controllers that use permit! or don't properly whitelist params, allowing attackers to modify any database column including admin flags and passwords.
Missing authorization checks
Controllers that authenticate users but don't check authorization — a logged-in user can access or modify any other user's data by changing the ID in the URL.
N+1 query problems
ActiveRecord code that loads associated records in loops without includes, eager_load, or preload — causing hundreds of database queries on pages with lists.
Unsafe use of raw SQL
AI tools sometimes generate raw SQL with string interpolation instead of using ActiveRecord's parameterized query methods, enabling SQL injection attacks.
Dashboard challenges to solve
Key dashboard concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Query performance at scale
AI-generated dashboards run raw database queries on every page load. With thousands of rows, these queries take seconds or minutes instead of milliseconds. You need materialized views, pre-aggregated data, proper indexing, and caching to keep dashboards responsive.
Data accuracy
A dashboard that shows wrong numbers is worse than no dashboard at all. AI tools generate SQL aggregations that look correct but miss edge cases — timezone handling, duplicate records, null values, and off-by-one errors in date ranges produce silently incorrect metrics.
Access control and data exposure
Dashboards display sensitive business data. AI tools often skip role-based access, meaning anyone with the URL can see revenue figures, customer data, or operational metrics. Different team members need different data visibility levels.
Real-time vs. cached data
Some metrics need to be live (active users, system status), while others can be cached (monthly revenue, historical trends). AI tools either make everything real-time (slow, expensive) or everything static (stale). You need a thoughtful caching strategy.
What we check
Key areas we review for Ruby on Rails dashboard projects.
Query performance — response times under 500ms for all dashboard views
Data accuracy — aggregation logic, timezone handling, null values
Access control — role-based permissions enforced on API and database level
Caching strategy — appropriate refresh intervals for each metric type

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a dashboard built with Ruby on Rails?
Yes. We regularly audit Ruby on Rails dashboard 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 Ruby on Rails dashboards?
Common issues include mass assignment vulnerabilities and missing authorization checks on the Ruby on Rails side, combined with dashboard-specific concerns like query performance at scale and data accuracy. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Ruby on Rails dashboard production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Ruby on Rails dashboard projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address dashboard-specific requirements, optimize Ruby on Rails performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
