Expert Spring Boot Code Review for AI-Built Apps
Spring Boot is the dominant Java enterprise framework for building production APIs and microservices. AI-generated Spring Boot apps often lack proper security configuration, miss actuator protection, and use anti-patterns in dependency injection.
Common Spring Boot issues we find
Real problems from Spring Boot codebases we've reviewed.
Open actuator endpoints
Spring Boot Actuator endpoints like /actuator/env and /actuator/heapdump exposed without authentication, leaking environment variables, secrets, and heap memory.
Disabled Spring Security defaults
CSRF protection, CORS restrictions, and security headers disabled in SecurityFilterChain to 'make things work' during development and never re-enabled.
N+1 queries in JPA/Hibernate
Lazy-loaded entity relationships fetched inside loops, generating hundreds of individual SQL queries instead of proper JOIN FETCH or EntityGraph queries.
Missing @Transactional boundaries
Service methods that perform multiple database operations without transaction annotations, leaving data inconsistent if any step fails.
Secrets in application.yml
Database passwords, API keys, and JWT secrets hardcoded in configuration files committed to version control.
Blocking calls in WebFlux
Mixing blocking JDBC calls with reactive WebFlux endpoints, exhausting the small event loop thread pool and freezing the application.
Spring Boot production checklist
Key checks before deploying your Spring Boot app.
Actuator endpoints secured or restricted to health/info only
Spring Security CSRF and CORS properly configured
JPA queries optimized (no N+1, proper fetch strategies)
@Transactional on service methods with multiple DB operations
Secrets loaded from environment variables or vault
Health check and readiness probes configured
Connection pool sized for production load (HikariCP)
Structured logging with correlation IDs

Frequently asked questions
Is AI-generated Spring Boot code enterprise-ready?
AI tools generate functional Spring Boot apps but miss critical enterprise concerns: actuator security, proper transaction management, JPA optimization, and production-grade security configuration.
How do you secure a Spring Boot application?
We configure Spring Security properly, lock down actuator endpoints, implement role-based access control, secure all API endpoints, and externalize secrets from configuration files.
Can you optimize my Spring Boot API performance?
Yes. We fix N+1 JPA queries, configure connection pooling, add caching layers, optimize serialization, and configure thread pools for your expected load.
Can you deploy my Spring Boot application?
Yes. We deploy to AWS (ECS, EKS, Beanstalk), GCP, Azure, or Docker-based platforms with proper JVM tuning, health checks, and CI/CD pipelines.
