Building a education platform with Spring Boot? Let us review it.
Expert code review for education platforms built with Spring Boot. We fix Spring Boot-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
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.
Education Platform challenges to solve
Key education platform concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Student data privacy
Education platforms often handle data protected by FERPA, COPPA (if serving minors), or GDPR. Student names, grades, progress data, and behavioral analytics all have privacy requirements. AI tools store this data with no awareness of these regulations.
Content access control and paywalls
Paid courses need reliable access gating — enrolled students see course content, everyone else sees the sales page. AI tools generate client-side checks that can be bypassed by inspecting the page source. Server-side content gating with proper enrollment verification is essential.
Progress tracking accuracy
Students expect their progress to be saved reliably — completed lessons, quiz scores, certificates earned. Losing a student's progress is the fastest way to lose their trust. AI-generated progress tracking often uses local storage or has race conditions that lose data.
Video content delivery
Course videos need to stream smoothly at various connection speeds, support seeking, and be protected from unauthorized downloading. AI tools embed videos directly without adaptive bitrate streaming, CDN delivery, or content protection.
What we check
Key areas we review for Spring Boot education platform projects.
Content access control — server-side enrollment verification, no client-side bypasses
Progress tracking — reliable save/restore, no data loss on navigation or crashes
Payment integration — enrollment on payment, access revocation on refund
Student data privacy — compliance with FERPA/COPPA/GDPR as applicable
