Common Poolside issues affecting integrations
Code-only focus misses authentication requirements
Poolside generates high-quality application code but doesn't add authentication, authorization middleware, or access control by default — leaving API endpoints and data unprotected.
Generated code may not fit your project's architecture
Poolside produces idiomatic, high-quality code, but without deep knowledge of your project's specific architectural patterns, the generated code may conflict with your established service layers and module boundaries.
No deployment or infrastructure awareness
Poolside focuses on application code and does not generate Dockerfiles, deployment scripts, environment configuration, or CI/CD setup. Production deployment requires separate work.
Clerk issues we find in Poolside apps
Middleware matcher not protecting API routes
AI-generated Clerk middleware uses an incorrect matcher pattern that protects pages but leaves API routes completely unprotected and publicly accessible.
Using deprecated @clerk/nextjs patterns
AI tools generate code using withClerkMiddleware or getAuth() patterns from Clerk v4 that no longer work in Clerk v5 and Next.js 14+.
Organization-scoped permissions not enforced
Generated code checks if a user is signed in but doesn't verify organization membership or role-based permissions on sensitive operations.
