Building a social platform with Spring Boot? Let us review it.
Expert code review for social 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.
Social Platform challenges to solve
Key social platform concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Content moderation and safety
Users will post spam, harassment, illegal content, and misinformation. You need automated content filtering, user reporting flows, admin moderation tools, and clear community guidelines enforcement. Launching without moderation is a legal and reputational risk.
Feed algorithm and performance
A chronological feed is simple but doesn't scale — loading thousands of posts to sort them on every request kills performance. AI tools build basic feeds that work with 50 posts but crawl with 50,000. You need pagination, caching, and potentially a ranking algorithm.
User-generated content storage
Images, videos, and files uploaded by users need proper storage — CDN delivery, format optimization, size limits, and malware scanning. AI tools implement basic file upload but skip content delivery optimization and security scanning.
Notification system
Likes, comments, follows, mentions, and messages all generate notifications across multiple channels — in-app, push, and email. Building a notification system that's timely without being spammy, and that handles user preferences, is a complex infrastructure challenge.
What we check
Key areas we review for Spring Boot social platform projects.
Content moderation — automated filtering, reporting flow, admin tools
Feed performance — pagination, caching, query optimization
Media handling — CDN delivery, image optimization, upload limits
Privacy controls — blocking, profile visibility, data export

Yes. We regularly audit Spring Boot social platform 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 Spring Boot social platforms?
Common issues include open actuator endpoints and disabled spring security defaults on the Spring Boot side, combined with social platform-specific concerns like content moderation and safety and feed algorithm and performance. We check for all of these and more.
How do I make my Spring Boot social platform production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Spring Boot social platform projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address social platform-specific requirements, optimize Spring Boot performance, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
