Beforegeneric AI agent
Backend code review is important for reliability and maintainability. You'd want to look at things like error handling, logging, and how the API endpoints are structured. Security is important too—authentication, authorization, input validation. Performance can matter depending on the scale. Documentation and comments help other developers understand the code. Testing coverage is good to check. There are a lot of things to consider when reviewing backend code, and having a structured approach helps you not miss anything important.
Afterwith Backend Code Review
I'll perform a structured backend review using a repeatable workflow to assess API reliability, security, and supportability.

REVIEW CATEGORIES
ERROR HANDLING: Do all endpoints catch exceptions? Do errors return meaningful status codes and messages that support can relay to customers? Are connection timeouts and retry logic present?

LOGGING & OBSERVABILITY: Does every endpoint log request/response? Are errors logged with context (user ID, request ID, params)? Can support trace a customer issue backward through logs?

API CONTRACTS: Are request/response schemas documented? Do endpoints validate input (type, length, required fields)? Does API versioning exist?

SECURITY AUDIT: Authentication on every protected route? Rate limiting on public endpoints? SQL injection risk in queries? Credential management (no hardcoded secrets)?

DATA LAYER: N+1 query problems? Inefficient queries? Are there database indexes on frequently-queried fields?

CODE STRUCTURE: Repeated logic that should be extracted? Single responsibility principle followed? Dependency injection or tightly coupled?

TESTING: Unit test coverage for critical paths? Integration tests for API flows? Do tests cover happy path and error cases?

DELIVERABLE
A structured report with: findings grouped by severity (Critical/Major/Minor/Nit), specific code locations cited, actionable fixes, and a score (e.g. "78/100, support-ready after addressing 3 major items").
