Aider + Dashboard

Built a dashboard with Aider?
We'll make it production-ready.

Dashboards aggregate and display your most important business data — revenue metrics, user analytics, operational KPIs. They need to load fast, display accurate numbers, and restrict access to authorized users. AI tools build visually impressive charts quickly, but the underlying data queries are often slow, insecure, or return incorrect aggregations.

Dashboard challenges in Aider apps

Building a dashboard with Aider is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.

Query performance at scale

AI-generated dashboards run raw database queries on every page load. With thousands of rows, these queries take seconds or minutes instead of milliseconds. You need materialized views, pre-aggregated data, proper indexing, and caching to keep dashboards responsive.

Data accuracy

A dashboard that shows wrong numbers is worse than no dashboard at all. AI tools generate SQL aggregations that look correct but miss edge cases — timezone handling, duplicate records, null values, and off-by-one errors in date ranges produce silently incorrect metrics.

Access control and data exposure

Dashboards display sensitive business data. AI tools often skip role-based access, meaning anyone with the URL can see revenue figures, customer data, or operational metrics. Different team members need different data visibility levels.

Real-time vs. cached data

Some metrics need to be live (active users, system status), while others can be cached (monthly revenue, historical trends). AI tools either make everything real-time (slow, expensive) or everything static (stale). You need a thoughtful caching strategy.

Chart and visualization bugs

AI-generated charts often have subtle issues — wrong axis scales, misleading truncated Y-axes, color schemes that are indistinguishable for colorblind users, and tooltips that show raw data instead of formatted values. These issues erode trust in the data.

Filter and drill-down interactions

Users need to filter by date range, segment, region, or other dimensions and drill into the details behind any number. AI tools build static charts but not the interactive filtering and drill-down that makes dashboards actually useful for decision-making.

Export and reporting

Stakeholders need to export data to CSV, generate PDF reports, or schedule automated email summaries. AI tools rarely implement data export, and when they do, the output format often breaks in Excel or includes raw technical field names.

What we check in your Aider dashboard

Query performance — response times under 500ms for all dashboard views
Data accuracy — aggregation logic, timezone handling, null values
Access control — role-based permissions enforced on API and database level
Caching strategy — appropriate refresh intervals for each metric type
Visualization correctness — accurate axes, accessible color schemes
Filter functionality — date ranges, segments, and drill-down interactions
Export capability — CSV, PDF, and scheduled reports
Mobile responsiveness — usable dashboard layout on tablets and phones
Error states — clear messages when data is unavailable or queries fail
Database load — queries don't impact production application performance

Common Aider issues we fix

Beyond dashboard-specific issues, these are Aider patterns we commonly fix.

highSecurity

Incomplete security implementations

Aider implements security features in the files it touches but misses corresponding changes in other files — like adding auth to one route but not others.

mediumBugs

Partial refactoring across files

Aider sometimes updates function signatures in one file but misses call sites in other files, causing runtime errors.

lowCode Quality

Git history cluttered with fix commits

Aider's iterative approach creates many small 'fix' commits that make Git history hard to follow and review.

mediumPerformance

Missing cross-file optimizations

Performance improvements applied to individual files but not the system-level patterns that cause the real bottlenecks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a dashboard with Aider?

Aider is a great starting point for a dashboard. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but dashboards have specific requirements — query performance at scale and data accuracy — that need professional attention before launch.

What issues does Aider leave in dashboards?

Common issues include: incomplete security implementations, partial refactoring across files, git history cluttered with fix commits. For a dashboard specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for query performance at scale.

How do I make my Aider dashboard production-ready?

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Aider-built dashboards, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.

How much does it cost to fix a Aider-built dashboard?

Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger dashboard projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
