Base44 issues we find in Node.js projects
Problems specific to Base44's code generation patterns when building Node.js apps.
Platform lock-in makes it expensive to migrate to self-hosted infrastructure
Base44 applications run on Base44's infrastructure with proprietary abstractions. If you need to migrate to AWS, Vercel, or a custom backend, you must substantially rewrite the application since the generated code is tightly coupled to Base44's runtime.
Auto-generated backend API lacks input validation and allows malformed data into the database
Base44's generated REST API endpoints often accept and persist any data that matches the field type without business-rule validation — missing required fields, out-of-range values, or invalid relationships are stored without error.
Limited customization of business logic after the initial app generation
Once Base44 generates the application structure, adding custom business logic that deviates from the generated patterns — complex workflows, conditional processing, third-party integrations — requires working around the platform rather than with it.
Database schema changes after initial generation are difficult and risk data loss
Modifying the generated database schema after data has been collected — adding columns, changing relationships, renaming tables — is fragile in Base44 and may require manual data migration that the platform does not assist with.
Node.js issues we check for
Common Node.js problems that affect production readiness.
No input validation
Request bodies and query parameters accepted without validation, enabling injection attacks and unexpected data types.
Missing rate limiting
No rate limiting on auth endpoints, API routes, or resource-intensive operations, enabling brute-force and DoS attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Unhandled promise rejections crash the Node.js process in production, taking the entire server down.
Memory leaks
Event listeners not cleaned up, growing arrays/maps, and unclosed connections that gradually consume all available memory.

Frequently asked questions
Can you review Node.js code generated by Base44?
Yes. We regularly audit Node.js projects built with Base44 and understand the specific patterns and issues it introduces. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What Node.js issues does Base44 typically create?
Common issues in Base44-generated Node.js code include: platform lock-in makes it expensive to migrate to self-hosted infrastructure, auto-generated backend api lacks input validation and allows malformed data into the database, limited customization of business logic after the initial app generation. Combined with Node.js-specific concerns like no input validation and missing rate limiting.
How do I make my Base44 Node.js project production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Base44-built Node.js projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address Node.js-specific performance issues, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to review Base44-generated Node.js code?
Our code audit starts at $19 and covers security, performance, architecture, and deployment readiness. For fixes, our Fix & Ship plan is $199. Larger projects get a custom fixed quote — no hourly billing or surprises.
