Go app built with Cursor? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for Go apps built with Cursor. We find Cursor-specific bugs, fix Go security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
Cursor issues we find in Go projects
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation patterns when building Go 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.
Go issues we check for
Common Go problems that affect production readiness.
Ignored error returns
The most common AI-generated Go anti-pattern: using _ to discard error returns from functions. Errors are silently ignored, and the code continues with zero or nil values, causing subtle data corruption.
Goroutine leaks
Goroutines spawned without context cancellation or timeout. They accumulate over time, consuming memory and causing the application to slow down and eventually crash.
Insecure default HTTP server
Using http.ListenAndServe with no timeouts configured. The default Go HTTP server has no read, write, or idle timeouts — making it vulnerable to slowloris and resource exhaustion attacks.
SQL injection via string formatting
Building SQL queries with fmt.Sprintf instead of using parameterized queries with database/sql placeholders, enabling injection attacks.

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