CORS Headers Missing After API Refactoring
After Cursor refactored your API server, requests from the frontend are blocked by CORS errors. The browser blocks responses due to missing Access-Control headers.
CORS middleware was removed or misconfigured.
Error Messages You Might See
Access to XMLHttpRequest blocked by CORS policy
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header
PreflightError
Cross-origin request blocked
Common Causes
- CORS middleware removed or commented out
- Origin whitelist too restrictive or changed
- Allow-Methods not including required methods (PUT, DELETE)
- Allow-Headers not including custom headers (Authorization)
- Credentials handling broken (withCredentials vs CORS)
How to Fix It
Enable CORS: app.use(cors({origin: 'http://localhost:3000', credentials: true})). Or manually set headers: res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*'). Ensure preflight handled: OPTIONS method. Allow methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.

Iāve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decadeāfrom the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing.
My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream.
What I bring to your project:
Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causesālike significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins.
Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams.
Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

You don't need to be technical. Just describe what's wrong and a verified developer will handle the rest.
Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
What's a preflight request?
Browser sends OPTIONS request first to check permissions for complex requests (PUT, DELETE, custom headers). Server must respond with CORS headers.
When is CORS needed?
When frontend (different origin) calls API. Not needed for same-origin. Localhost:3000 != localhost:3001.
