AWS app built with Cursor? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for AWS apps built with Cursor. We find Cursor-specific bugs, fix AWS security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
Cursor issues we find in AWS projects
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation patterns when building AWS apps.
Exposed API keys in client code
Cursor often places sensitive keys and secrets directly in client-side components or .env files without the NEXT_PUBLIC prefix distinction, making them accessible in the browser.
Missing input validation on API routes
Server actions and API routes generated by Cursor frequently accept user input without sanitization or schema validation, opening the door to injection attacks.
Unhandled async errors
Cursor wraps code in try/catch inconsistently. Failed API calls, database queries, and file operations often crash the app silently or show raw error messages to users.
Race conditions in state management
Multiple rapid state updates or concurrent API calls cause stale data, UI flickers, and inconsistent behavior — especially in forms and real-time features.
AWS issues we check for
Common AWS problems that affect production readiness.
Overly permissive IAM policies
AI-generated IAM policies using Action: '*' and Resource: '*' — granting full access to every AWS service. This is the cloud equivalent of leaving all your doors unlocked.
Public S3 buckets
S3 buckets configured with public access for convenience during development. User uploads, database backups, and configuration files become accessible to anyone on the internet.
Unencrypted data at rest
Databases (RDS, DynamoDB), S3 buckets, and EBS volumes without encryption enabled. If a backup is exposed, all your data is readable.
Security groups wide open
EC2 security groups allowing inbound traffic from 0.0.0.0/0 on all ports instead of restricting to specific ports and IP ranges.

Frequently asked questions
Can you review AWS code generated by Cursor?
Yes. We regularly audit AWS projects built with Cursor and understand the specific patterns and issues it introduces. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What AWS issues does Cursor typically create?
Common issues in Cursor-generated AWS code include: exposed api keys in client code, missing input validation on api routes, unhandled async errors. Combined with AWS-specific concerns like overly permissive iam policies and public s3 buckets.
How do I make my Cursor AWS project production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Cursor-built AWS projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address AWS-specific performance issues, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to review Cursor-generated AWS 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.
