Rust app built with Zed AI? Let’s review it.
Expert code review for Rust apps built with Zed AI. We find Zed AI-specific bugs, fix Rust security issues, and optimize performance. From $19.
Zed AI issues we find in Rust projects
Problems specific to Zed AI's code generation patterns when building Rust apps.
Inline edits applied directly to files without a diff review step
Zed AI applies inline edits immediately to open files, which makes changes fast but difficult to review as a unit before they are applied. Mistakes in multi-line edits can be harder to undo cleanly compared to tools that show a diff preview.
Fewer security guardrails than more established AI coding assistants
As a newer tool in a smaller ecosystem, Zed AI has less institutional knowledge built into its guardrails — it is less likely to flag insecure patterns in generated code like missing authentication or unsafe deserialization.
Limited codebase context compared to dedicated AI coding assistants
Zed AI operates primarily on open files and the immediate context rather than indexing the full codebase, so suggestions may not account for existing utilities, established patterns, or dependencies defined elsewhere in the project.
Rust-specific suggestions may not account for lifetime and ownership rules
Generated Rust code from Zed AI sometimes produces code that compiles but has ownership patterns that are overly restrictive or introduce unnecessary clones, requiring a Rust-savvy developer to optimize.
Rust issues we check for
Common Rust problems that affect production readiness.
Excessive .clone() usage
AI tools clone data everywhere to satisfy the borrow checker instead of using references, lifetimes, or Cow — defeating Rust's zero-cost abstraction goals.
Unnecessary unsafe blocks
Using unsafe to bypass compiler checks rather than restructuring code to work within safe Rust, introducing memory safety vulnerabilities.
Improper error handling with unwrap()
Calling .unwrap() and .expect() on Result and Option types instead of proper error propagation with ? operator, causing panics in production.
Blocking in async contexts
Using std::thread::sleep, synchronous I/O, or blocking mutex locks inside async functions, starving the Tokio runtime of worker threads.

Frequently asked questions
Can you review Rust code generated by Zed AI?
Yes. We regularly audit Rust projects built with Zed AI and understand the specific patterns and issues it introduces. Our review covers security, performance, and deployment readiness.
What Rust issues does Zed AI typically create?
Common issues in Zed AI-generated Rust code include: inline edits applied directly to files without a diff review step, fewer security guardrails than more established ai coding assistants, limited codebase context compared to dedicated ai coding assistants. Combined with Rust-specific concerns like excessive .clone() usage and unnecessary unsafe blocks.
How do I make my Zed AI Rust project production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a prioritized list of issues. For Zed AI-built Rust projects, the typical path is: fix security gaps, address Rust-specific performance issues, then configure deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to review Zed AI-generated Rust 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.
