Built a api / backend service with Same.dev?
We'll make it production-ready.
APIs are the backbone of modern applications — mobile apps, SPAs, integrations, and other services all depend on your API being secure, fast, and reliable. AI tools can scaffold API endpoints quickly, but production APIs need authentication, input validation, rate limiting, documentation, and monitoring that AI tools consistently skip.
API / Backend Service challenges in Same.dev apps
Building a api / backend service with Same.dev is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Authentication and API keys
Every endpoint needs to verify the caller's identity. AI tools create endpoints without auth, or with auth that's easy to bypass. You need token-based auth, API key management, and proper session handling.
Input validation
Every parameter, request body, and header value must be validated before use. AI-generated APIs trust client data, which leads to injection attacks, data corruption, and crashes from unexpected input.
Rate limiting and abuse prevention
Without rate limits, anyone can hammer your API — brute-forcing passwords, scraping data, or running up your infrastructure costs. Rate limiting must be per-user and per-endpoint.
Error handling and status codes
APIs should return appropriate HTTP status codes (400 for bad input, 401 for unauthorized, 404 for not found, 500 for server errors) with helpful error messages. AI tools often return 200 for everything or expose internal error details.
Documentation
APIs without documentation are unusable. Auto-generated OpenAPI/Swagger docs from your code are the minimum. AI tools rarely set up API documentation.
Versioning and backwards compatibility
Once other services depend on your API, you can't change it freely. You need a versioning strategy from the start so you can evolve the API without breaking existing clients.
What we check in your Same.dev api / backend service
Common Same.dev issues we fix
Beyond api / backend service-specific issues, these are Same.dev patterns we commonly fix.
Cloned design may violate original site's copyright
Same.dev reproduces visual layouts, color schemes, and component structures from existing sites. Using a competitor's or commercial site's design as your starting point can constitute copyright infringement or unfair competition.
No backend or API layer generated
Same.dev clones frontend presentation only. Navigation links, forms, and interactive elements exist in the UI but have no server, database, or API behind them — everything requires backend implementation from scratch.
Scraped content and assets need full replacement
Generated codebases contain the original site's text, images, and media as placeholder content. Shipping with scraped third-party assets is a licensing violation and a branding problem.
Broken interactions from missing state management
Dropdowns, modals, carousels, and tabs are rendered structurally but wired to no logic. Interactive elements appear functional in the UI but do nothing on click.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a api / backend service with Same.dev?
Same.dev is a great starting point for a api / backend service. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but api / backend services have specific requirements — authentication and api keys and input validation — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Same.dev leave in api / backend services?
Common issues include: cloned design may violate original site's copyright, no backend or api layer generated, scraped content and assets need full replacement. For a api / backend service specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for authentication and api keys.
How do I make my Same.dev api / backend service production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Same.dev-built api / backend services, 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 Same.dev-built api / backend service?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger api / backend service projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
