PlanetScale app built with Cursor? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for PlanetScale apps built with Cursor. We find Cursor-specific bugs, fix PlanetScale security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
Cursor issues we find in PlanetScale projects
Problems specific to Cursor's code generation patterns when building PlanetScale 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.
PlanetScale issues we check for
Common PlanetScale problems that affect production readiness.
Foreign key constraint workarounds
PlanetScale doesn't support traditional foreign keys. AI-generated code creates them anyway, causing deployment failures, or skips referential integrity entirely.
Connection string exposure
PlanetScale database URLs with credentials committed to source control or embedded in client-side code.
Missing connection pooling
Serverless functions opening new connections on every invocation instead of using PlanetScale's connection pooling or @planetscale/database driver.
No branch workflow for schema changes
Schema changes deployed directly to the main branch without using PlanetScale's deploy request workflow, risking production data.

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