Go app built with Poolside? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for Go apps built with Poolside. We find Poolside-specific bugs, fix Go security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
Poolside issues we find in Go projects
Problems specific to Poolside's code generation patterns when building Go apps.
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.
Input validation present in generated code but not at API boundaries
Poolside validates data within functions but may skip HTTP-layer input validation — allowing malformed or oversized payloads to reach application logic before being caught.
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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you review Go code generated by Poolside?
Yes. We regularly audit Go projects built with Poolside and understand the specific patterns and issues it introduces. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What Go issues does Poolside typically create?
Common issues in Poolside-generated Go code include: code-only focus misses authentication requirements, generated code may not fit your project's architecture, no deployment or infrastructure awareness. Combined with Go-specific concerns like ignored error returns and goroutine leaks.
How do I make my Poolside Go project production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Poolside-built Go projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address Go-specific performance issues, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to review Poolside-generated Go 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.
