// production-readiness audit · Bolt.new

A senior engineer reviews your Bolt app before real users and real data.

Bolt.new builds a full-stack app from a prompt in minutes. The speed is real — and so are the exposed keys, missing server-side checks and open database rules it can generate. A real engineer reads it and tells you what’s safe to ship.

Read-only — we can't change, push or delete anything. Your code is never executed, and deleted after the audit.

01What we see most in Bolt apps

The Bolt mistakes that ship straight to production.

Bolt generates full-stack apps — usually a React/Vite or Next frontend on a Supabase or Firebase backend — so the failure modes cluster around generated auth, data rules and secrets.

Critical

Secrets generated into client-side code

Fast full-stack generation makes it easy for an API key or backend secret to land in the frontend bundle. Once it ships, it’s public — and rotating it is the only fix.

check › Search the generated client for keys or secrets that should be server-side.

Critical

Backend rules left in test / open mode

Generated Supabase or Firebase backends frequently ship with permissive rules — allow read: if true, or USING (true) — so the app works immediately. That leaves the data readable, and often writable, by anyone.

check › Read your database rules/policies; if true / USING (true) means open.

Critical

Server-side authorization missing entirely

Generated endpoints and actions often check nothing on the server — the only protection is the UI not showing a button. Anyone hitting the endpoint directly is straight in.

check › Does each endpoint verify who is calling before it acts?

Watch

Input validation and error handling skipped

Generated handlers tend to trust their input and either crash or leak stack traces on bad data — a reliability and information-disclosure risk.

check › Is user input validated server-side, and are errors handled cleanly?

Watch

No rate limiting or abuse protection

Open signup, auth and any paid or third-party endpoint can be hammered or run up cost when nothing throttles them.

check › Is there a limit on signup, auth and any endpoint that costs money?

These are the patterns, not a checklist run against your repo. The audit reads your actual Bolt code and tells you which of these are really there — prioritized, critical first. Or try the free 2-minute self-check →

02What the $49 audit covers

A full production-readiness read — not just Bolt specifics.

The stack-specific bugs above are where we start. The review covers six areas in total, delivered as a prioritized report with an honest fix estimate for each.

  • 01
    Securitysecrets, auth, exposed endpoints
  • 02
    Data & multi-tenancyaccess rules, tenant isolation
  • 03
    Scalabilityqueries, indexes, N+1s, caching
  • 04
    Cloud & infrastructureenv separation, secrets, backups
  • 05
    CI/CD & deploymentpipeline, staging, safe rollback
  • 06

04Bolt questions
Q1 I built it in the browser — how do you review it?
Bolt projects export to a repo (StackBlitz / GitHub). Read-only access to that is all we need.
Q2 Does the backend get reviewed too?
Yes. The most dangerous Bolt findings are at the generated backend — database rules, auth and secrets — so the data layer is part of the review.
