Built a e-commerce store with Amazon Q Developer?
We'll make it production-ready.
E-commerce apps handle money and personal data — there's zero margin for error. AI tools build great-looking product pages and shopping carts, but the critical details — inventory management, payment security, order processing, and shipping calculations — need professional attention before you take real orders.
E-Commerce Store challenges in Amazon Q Developer apps
Building a e-commerce store with Amazon Q Developer is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Payment security and PCI compliance
You're handling credit card transactions. While Stripe and similar services handle PCI compliance on their end, your integration must not expose card data, must verify webhook signatures, and must handle failed payments gracefully.
Inventory management
What happens when two customers buy the last item simultaneously? AI tools don't implement inventory locking or race condition prevention. Overselling damages trust and creates costly fulfillment problems.
Order processing pipeline
Orders move through states: pending, confirmed, processing, shipped, delivered. Each transition triggers actions (emails, inventory updates, accounting entries). AI tools build the checkout but not the order lifecycle.
Shipping and tax calculation
Real shipping costs vary by weight, destination, and carrier. Sales tax varies by jurisdiction. These calculations need to be accurate and up-to-date — getting them wrong is either illegal (tax) or margin-killing (shipping).
Performance under load
Product launches and sales events spike traffic. Your site needs to handle 10x normal load without crashing. Image optimization, caching, and CDN configuration are essential for a fast shopping experience.
What we check in your Amazon Q Developer e-commerce store
Common Amazon Q Developer issues we fix
Beyond e-commerce store-specific issues, these are Amazon Q Developer patterns we commonly fix.
Overly permissive IAM policies generated with wildcard actions and resources
Amazon Q often generates IAM policies with `*` wildcards for actions or resources as a starting point, which violates the principle of least privilege. These policies should be scoped to specific actions and resource ARNs before being applied in production.
Lambda cold start latency not addressed in generated function configurations
Generated Lambda functions use default memory and timeout settings without considering cold start impact. Functions with heavy initialization code (loading models, establishing DB connections) need provisioned concurrency or memory tuning, which Amazon Q does not configure.
Generated CDK code creates AWS resources without cost estimation or tagging
Amazon Q CDK suggestions deploy resources without cost-tracking tags or budget guardrails, making it easy to inadvertently provision expensive resources (NAT gateways, multi-AZ RDS instances) without visibility into the cost impact.
DynamoDB access patterns generated without consideration for partition key hot spots
Generated DynamoDB table designs and query patterns sometimes use partition keys that distribute poorly under load — such as a status field with few values — creating hot partitions that throttle at scale.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a e-commerce store with Amazon Q Developer?
Amazon Q Developer is a great starting point for a e-commerce store. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but e-commerce stores have specific requirements — payment security and pci compliance and inventory management — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Amazon Q Developer leave in e-commerce stores?
Common issues include: overly permissive iam policies generated with wildcard actions and resources, lambda cold start latency not addressed in generated function configurations, generated cdk code creates aws resources without cost estimation or tagging. For a e-commerce store specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for payment security and pci compliance.
How do I make my Amazon Q Developer e-commerce store production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Amazon Q Developer-built e-commerce stores, 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 Amazon Q Developer-built e-commerce store?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger e-commerce store projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
