Building a marketplace with Rust? Let us review it.
Expert code review for marketplace apps built with Rust. We fix Rust-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Rust issues we find
Real problems from Rust codebases we've reviewed.
Excessive .clone() usage
AI tools clone data everywhere to satisfy the borrow checker instead of using references, lifetimes, or Cow — defeating Rust's zero-cost abstraction goals.
Unnecessary unsafe blocks
Using unsafe to bypass compiler checks rather than restructuring code to work within safe Rust, introducing memory safety vulnerabilities.
Improper error handling with unwrap()
Calling .unwrap() and .expect() on Result and Option types instead of proper error propagation with ? operator, causing panics in production.
Blocking in async contexts
Using std::thread::sleep, synchronous I/O, or blocking mutex locks inside async functions, starving the Tokio runtime of worker threads.
Marketplace challenges to solve
Key marketplace concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Payment splitting and payouts
Buyers pay, the platform takes a cut, sellers receive the rest. This requires Stripe Connect or similar — significantly more complex than basic checkout. AI tools rarely implement this correctly, leaving you with manual payout processes.
Two-sided authorization
Sellers can manage their listings but not other sellers'. Buyers can view listings but only manage their own orders. Admins can moderate everything. Three distinct permission levels, all enforced server-side.
Trust and safety
Reviews, ratings, dispute resolution, content moderation, and fraud detection. These are complex systems that AI tools don't generate but that make or break a marketplace.
Search and discovery
Users need to find what they're looking for. Basic database queries won't cut it at scale — you need full-text search, filters, sorting, and potentially geolocation. This requires proper indexing or a dedicated search service.
What we check
Key areas we review for Rust marketplace projects.
Payment flow — Stripe Connect setup, split payments, seller payouts
Authorization — buyer vs seller vs admin permissions enforced server-side
Data integrity — race conditions, inventory management, order state machines
Search performance — indexing, query optimization, full-text search

Frequently asked questions
Can you review a marketplace built with Rust?
Yes. We regularly audit Rust marketplace 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 Rust marketplace apps?
Common issues include excessive .clone() usage and unnecessary unsafe blocks on the Rust side, combined with marketplace-specific concerns like payment splitting and payouts and two-sided authorization. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Rust marketplace production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Rust marketplace projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address marketplace-specific requirements, optimize Rust performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How long does it take to audit a Rust marketplace?
Our code audit delivers a full report within 24 hours. For Rust marketplace projects, we check security, architecture, performance, and deployment readiness across all Rust-specific patterns. Fixes are scoped separately with a fixed quote.
