Databutton App Production Checklist
The complete checklist for launching your Databutton app. Every check you need before going live, written for non-technical founders.
Databutton-specific concerns
Databutton apps need database security and data scale handling — least-privilege database access, authenticated endpoints, and performance testing with production-scale data
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
Database user has least-privilege permissions for the application. Authentication required on all API endpoints. Users can only access their own data. Database indexes on time-series and filter columns. API responses paginated for large datasets. Data processing avoids loading full tables into Python memory. FastAPI endpoints tested with large data volumes. Rate limiting on API endpoints. Environment variables for all credentials. Database backed up on a schedule. Error handling returns safe messages without database details. Pandas operations use vectorized methods, not apply(). React visualizations memoized to prevent unnecessary re-renders. Export features tested with large datasets. Monitoring configured for slow queries and API errors
