Base44 App Production Checklist
The complete checklist for launching your Base44 app. Every check you need before going live, written for non-technical founders.
Base44-specific concerns
Base44 apps critically need server-side authorization checks and input validation added — the platform generates frontend validation only
Security checklist
Authentication protects all private routes and API endpoints. Input validation on every form and data handler. No API keys or secrets in client-side code. Security headers configured (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options). CORS restricted to your domain. Rate limiting on login and signup endpoints. HTTPS enforced everywhere.
Performance checklist
Images optimized and lazy-loaded. Code splitting implemented. Lighthouse performance score above 80. Database queries have indexes on filtered columns. Pagination on all data lists. Static assets served with cache headers. No unnecessary client-side JavaScript.
Reliability checklist
Error tracking configured (Sentry or similar). Custom error pages for 404 and 500 errors. Error boundaries catch rendering failures gracefully. Loading states on all async operations. Graceful handling of network failures. Health check endpoint for monitoring. Database backups configured.
Full checklist
Server-side ownership verification on every user-specific API endpoint. Parameterized database queries throughout the codebase. Server-side input validation with Zod or Joi. Database indexes on foreign keys and commonly queried columns. Pagination on all list endpoints. Cascade behavior on record deletion verified. Authentication required on all non-public endpoints. User data scoped correctly — users cannot access other users' data. Error responses don't expose internal details. PostgreSQL database backed up before go-live. Environment variables for all secrets. HTTPS enforced in production. Monitoring configured for API errors and slow queries. Tests covering authorization boundaries. Rate limiting on auth and sensitive endpoints
