Go app built with GitHub Copilot? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for Go apps built with GitHub Copilot. We find GitHub Copilot-specific bugs, fix Go security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
GitHub Copilot issues we find in Go projects
Problems specific to GitHub Copilot's code generation patterns when building Go apps.
Insecure code patterns from training data
Copilot sometimes suggests patterns from its training data that are known to be insecure — like using eval(), innerHTML, or outdated crypto functions.
Hardcoded secrets in suggestions
Copilot occasionally suggests placeholder API keys or credentials that look real and get committed to version control.
Inconsistent code style across files
Different completions use different patterns — sometimes callbacks, sometimes async/await, sometimes .then(). The codebase becomes inconsistent over time.
Subtly incorrect logic
Copilot completions often look correct but contain off-by-one errors, wrong comparison operators, or missed edge cases that cause intermittent bugs.
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.
