Built a dashboard with Pieces?
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 Pieces apps
Building a dashboard with Pieces 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 Pieces dashboard
Common Pieces issues we fix
Beyond dashboard-specific issues, these are Pieces patterns we commonly fix.
Saved snippets used out of original context introduce bugs when reused
Code snippets saved from one project often have implicit dependencies — specific utility functions, environment variables, or framework versions — that are not present in the project where the snippet is reused, causing silent failures or runtime errors.
Security-sensitive snippets like auth helpers reused across projects with different requirements
Authentication, token validation, and cryptography snippets saved from one project may use algorithms or key lengths appropriate for that context but inadequate for a different security model, spreading security assumptions that do not apply.
Version drift as saved snippets fall behind updated library APIs
Snippets saved against older versions of React, Dart, or TypeScript accumulate as libraries update, resulting in a snippet library that increasingly uses deprecated APIs or patterns that generate deprecation warnings or compilation errors in new projects.
Mixed coding patterns from different projects used inconsistently in the same codebase
When developers pull snippets from different projects saved in Pieces, each snippet may follow a different style — one uses async/await, another uses callbacks; one uses Tailwind, another uses CSS modules — creating inconsistency within the target project.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a dashboard with Pieces?
Pieces 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 Pieces leave in dashboards?
Common issues include: saved snippets used out of original context introduce bugs when reused, security-sensitive snippets like auth helpers reused across projects with different requirements, version drift as saved snippets fall behind updated library apis. For a dashboard specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for query performance at scale.
How do I make my Pieces dashboard production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Pieces-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 Pieces-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.
