BeakDash is a production-grade, AI-powered business intelligence platform built with Next.js 15, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. The codebase is well-structured with 237 TypeScript files, comprehensive database schema, and modern architecture. However, there are critical missing pieces that need completion before production deployment.
- User Authentication & Authorization (NextAuth)
- Dashboard Builder with drag-and-drop
- Widget System (charts, tables, counters, stat cards)
- Data Connections (CSV, REST API, SQL)
- Dataset Management
- DB-QA Queries & Alerts
- Team Spaces/Collaboration
- UI Component Library (Shadcn + Radix)
- Database Schema & ORM (Drizzle)
- AI Copilot UI (added but no backend endpoints)
- Widget positioning system
- Monaco IntelliSense
- Data aggregation logic
- AI API endpoints (UI exists but no
/api/ai/*routes) - Test coverage (0 tests in main app)
- Documentation (API docs, deployment guides)
- Security hardening (CORS wide open, no rate limiting)
- Real-time features (WebSocket infrastructure unused)
- Error monitoring (no Sentry/logging)
Problem:
- Frontend calls
/api/ai/copilot,/api/ai/chart-recommendation,/api/ai/chart-improvements,/api/ai/kpi-suggestions - NONE of these endpoints exist (app/api/ai/ directory missing)
- AI features will fail in production
Files Affected:
app/components/ai/ai-copilot.tsx:80-110(calls non-existent endpoints)app/lib/hooks/use-ai-copilot.ts:54(calls/api/ai/copilot)
app/components/widgets/widget-editor.tsx:340- Widget positions not properly based on dashboardapp/lib/data/toolkit.ts:57,95,130- Field aggregation logic incomplete
- CORS wide open for development (next.config.ts)
- No rate limiting on API endpoints
- No input sanitization layer
- Database credentials in plain .env files
- No CSRF protection
- Only 1 test file found:
packages/sdk/src/__tests__/sdk.test.ts - No integration tests
- No E2E tests
- No API endpoint tests
.env.examplecontains placeholder credentials- No
NEXTAUTH_SECRETgeneration documented - Missing webhook URLs for alerts
- No production environment guide
Priority: CRITICAL Effort: 2-3 days
Create the following API routes:
app/api/ai/copilot/route.ts- Main chat endpointapp/api/ai/chart-recommendation/route.ts- Chart type suggestionsapp/api/ai/chart-improvements/route.ts- Widget improvement suggestionsapp/api/ai/kpi-suggestions/route.ts- KPI widget recommendations
Implementation:
// app/api/ai/copilot/route.ts
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server';
import OpenAI from 'openai';
export async function POST(req: NextRequest) {
const { prompt, context, datasetId, chartType, widgetContext } = await req.json();
const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY });
const completion = await openai.chat.completions.create({
model: "gpt-4",
messages: [
{ role: "system", content: "You are a BI dashboard assistant..." },
...context,
{ role: "user", content: prompt }
]
});
return NextResponse.json({
response: completion.choices[0].message.content,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
});
