Fix API Latency Issue in Next.js / Supabase SaaS App

Posted 2 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We have an existing SaaS application built with Next.js, TypeScript, Supabase, and PostgreSQL. One of our dashboard pages has recently become noticeably slow because the API request used to load account data is taking several seconds to complete. We are looking for an experienced full-stack developer to investigate and fix this specific latency issue. Scope: - Identify the cause of the slow API/database response - Review the related Supabase/PostgreSQL query - Check for unnecessary API calls or inefficient data fetching - Optimize the query or backend logic - Confirm that the existing functionality still works correctly - Briefly explain what caused the issue and what was changed This should be a small debugging and optimization task, so the initial budget is $20 fixed price. Please apply only if you are comfortable debugging existing Next.js/Supabase applications and can work directly with an existing codebase. When applying, briefly mention: 1. Your experience with Next.js and Supabase 2. How you normally diagnose API or database latency 3. Whether you have experience optimizing PostgreSQL queries This is intended as a small paid trial. If the collaboration goes well, we have additional work involving SaaS features, API integrations, Stripe billing, backend optimization, dashboard improvements, and AI/LLM functionality. We would like to find a developer we can continue working with on a long-term basis as the product expands.
