Social Platform

Launch your AI-built social platform safely at scale

Code review, security hardening, and scalability services for social media apps, community platforms, and user-generated content applications built with AI coding tools.

Social platforms are uniquely complex because your users create the content, interact with each other, and expect real-time responsiveness. AI tools can build feeds, profiles, and posting features, but the hard problems — content moderation, abuse prevention, notification systems, and handling viral growth — require careful engineering that AI tools don't provide.

Social Platform challenges we solve

The most common issues in AI-built social platform projects.

Content moderation and safety

Users will post spam, harassment, illegal content, and misinformation. You need automated content filtering, user reporting flows, admin moderation tools, and clear community guidelines enforcement. Launching without moderation is a legal and reputational risk.

Feed algorithm and performance

A chronological feed is simple but doesn't scale — loading thousands of posts to sort them on every request kills performance. AI tools build basic feeds that work with 50 posts but crawl with 50,000. You need pagination, caching, and potentially a ranking algorithm.

User-generated content storage

Images, videos, and files uploaded by users need proper storage — CDN delivery, format optimization, size limits, and malware scanning. AI tools implement basic file upload but skip content delivery optimization and security scanning.

Notification system

Likes, comments, follows, mentions, and messages all generate notifications across multiple channels — in-app, push, and email. Building a notification system that's timely without being spammy, and that handles user preferences, is a complex infrastructure challenge.

Privacy and blocking

Users need to control who sees their content, block other users, and manage their privacy settings. AI tools build public-by-default profiles without the privacy controls users expect and regulations require.

Abuse prevention

Fake accounts, bots, spam rings, and coordinated harassment are inevitable on any social platform. You need rate limiting on actions (follows, messages, posts), bot detection, and account verification to protect your legitimate users.

What we review

Our social platform audit covers these critical areas.

Content moderation — automated filtering, reporting flow, admin tools

Feed performance — pagination, caching, query optimization

Media handling — CDN delivery, image optimization, upload limits

Privacy controls — blocking, profile visibility, data export

Notification system — multi-channel delivery, user preferences, batching

Abuse prevention — rate limiting, bot detection, spam filtering

Authentication — account verification, secure sessions, OAuth providers

Data privacy — GDPR compliance, data deletion, privacy policy

Real-time features — live updates for feeds, messages, notifications

Frequently asked questions

How do I handle content moderation without a large team?

Start with automated filtering (profanity filters, image moderation APIs like AWS Rekognition) combined with user reporting. Queue flagged content for manual review. Set clear community guidelines and enforce them consistently. You don't need a trust and safety team on day one, but you need the tooling to act quickly.

Will my social platform handle going viral?

AI-generated social platforms typically handle about 100 concurrent users before performance degrades. We implement caching, database optimization, and CDN configuration so your platform can handle traffic spikes. The key is making sure your feed queries and media delivery scale independently.

What privacy regulations do I need to worry about?

At minimum, GDPR (if you have any European users), CCPA (California users), and COPPA (if anyone under 13 could sign up). You need a privacy policy, data export capability, account deletion, and clear consent for data collection. We review your data handling and flag compliance gaps.
