Building a api / backend service with Tailwind CSS? Let us review it.
Expert code review for api / backend services built with Tailwind CSS. We fix Tailwind CSS-specific security gaps, optimize performance, and handle deployment. From $19.
Common Tailwind CSS issues we find
Real problems from Tailwind CSS codebases we've reviewed.
Inconsistent spacing and sizing
AI tools use arbitrary values (px-[17px]) instead of Tailwind's spacing scale, creating visual inconsistency across the app.
Missing responsive breakpoints
Components designed for desktop only. Mobile layouts break or are unusable because responsive classes weren't added.
Oversized CSS bundle
Unused classes not purged, custom CSS duplicating Tailwind utilities, and unnecessary safelist entries bloating the stylesheet.
No design tokens in config
Colors, fonts, and spacing hardcoded in classes instead of defined in tailwind.config. Changes require find-and-replace across the entire codebase.
API / Backend Service challenges to solve
Key api / backend service concerns that AI-generated code often misses.
Authentication and API keys
Every endpoint needs to verify the caller's identity. AI tools create endpoints without auth, or with auth that's easy to bypass. You need token-based auth, API key management, and proper session handling.
Input validation
Every parameter, request body, and header value must be validated before use. AI-generated APIs trust client data, which leads to injection attacks, data corruption, and crashes from unexpected input.
Rate limiting and abuse prevention
Without rate limits, anyone can hammer your API — brute-forcing passwords, scraping data, or running up your infrastructure costs. Rate limiting must be per-user and per-endpoint.
Error handling and status codes
APIs should return appropriate HTTP status codes (400 for bad input, 401 for unauthorized, 404 for not found, 500 for server errors) with helpful error messages. AI tools often return 200 for everything or expose internal error details.
What we check
Key areas we review for Tailwind CSS api / backend service projects.
Authentication on every endpoint — no unprotected routes
Input validation — every parameter validated with schema
Rate limiting — per-user, per-endpoint limits configured
Error responses — correct status codes, no internal detail leaks
