Built a dashboard with Magic.dev?
We'll make it production-ready.
Dashboards aggregate and display your most important business data — revenue metrics, user analytics, operational KPIs. They need to load fast, display accurate numbers, and restrict access to authorized users. AI tools build visually impressive charts quickly, but the underlying data queries are often slow, insecure, or return incorrect aggregations.
Dashboard challenges in Magic.dev apps
Building a dashboard with Magic.dev is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Query performance at scale
AI-generated dashboards run raw database queries on every page load. With thousands of rows, these queries take seconds or minutes instead of milliseconds. You need materialized views, pre-aggregated data, proper indexing, and caching to keep dashboards responsive.
Data accuracy
A dashboard that shows wrong numbers is worse than no dashboard at all. AI tools generate SQL aggregations that look correct but miss edge cases — timezone handling, duplicate records, null values, and off-by-one errors in date ranges produce silently incorrect metrics.
Access control and data exposure
Dashboards display sensitive business data. AI tools often skip role-based access, meaning anyone with the URL can see revenue figures, customer data, or operational metrics. Different team members need different data visibility levels.
Real-time vs. cached data
Some metrics need to be live (active users, system status), while others can be cached (monthly revenue, historical trends). AI tools either make everything real-time (slow, expensive) or everything static (stale). You need a thoughtful caching strategy.
Chart and visualization bugs
AI-generated charts often have subtle issues — wrong axis scales, misleading truncated Y-axes, color schemes that are indistinguishable for colorblind users, and tooltips that show raw data instead of formatted values. These issues erode trust in the data.
Filter and drill-down interactions
Users need to filter by date range, segment, region, or other dimensions and drill into the details behind any number. AI tools build static charts but not the interactive filtering and drill-down that makes dashboards actually useful for decision-making.
Export and reporting
Stakeholders need to export data to CSV, generate PDF reports, or schedule automated email summaries. AI tools rarely implement data export, and when they do, the output format often breaks in Excel or includes raw technical field names.
What we check in your Magic.dev dashboard
Common Magic.dev issues we fix
Beyond dashboard-specific issues, these are Magic.dev patterns we commonly fix.
Complex implementations that are difficult to maintain
Magic.dev's ability to generate large, multi-file implementations means it can produce sophisticated code that works but is hard for human engineers to understand, debug, or extend.
Security decisions made at scale without explicit review
When Magic.dev generates an entire feature spanning many files, security decisions — API authentication, data access patterns, input validation — are embedded throughout without a clear review surface.
Over-engineered solutions for straightforward requirements
Magic.dev tends toward comprehensive, extensible implementations. Simple CRUD operations may receive complex abstraction layers, generic type systems, and plugin architectures that add maintenance burden.
Dependency on Magic.dev's specific AI model for future changes
Complex generated codebases are easiest to modify by re-running Magic.dev with updated prompts. This creates dependence on continued access to their service for ongoing development.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a dashboard with Magic.dev?
Magic.dev is a great starting point for a dashboard. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but dashboards have specific requirements — query performance at scale and data accuracy — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Magic.dev leave in dashboards?
Common issues include: complex implementations that are difficult to maintain, security decisions made at scale without explicit review, over-engineered solutions for straightforward requirements. For a dashboard specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for query performance at scale.
How do I make my Magic.dev dashboard production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Magic.dev-built dashboards, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Magic.dev-built dashboard?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger dashboard projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
