Dev Fixes Multi-Tenant Email Cron Bug in Next.js Monorepo, Boosts Test Coverage
A developer on DEV Community refactored a Node.js cron job responsible for sending daily email notifications across a multi-tenant SaaS platform after discovering it could leak data between organizations. The original worker queried a shared email queue without filtering by tenant ID, causing some users to receive emails containing data belonging to other organizations. The fix splits processing into two phases: first discovering all organization IDs with pending emails, then iterating over each tenant in isolation with the ID explicitly passed to every helper function. A defensive mismatch check was also added to skip and log any record whose organization ID does not match the tenant currently being processed. The refactor eliminated cross-tenant data leakage and raised test coverage from a misleading 1.28 percent to more realistic levels.
