💡 What: Refactored toggleLike to use database transactions and atomic SQL updates.
🎯 Why: Fixes race conditions in likeCount updates and reduces database round trips by removing redundant getSong query.
📊 Impact: Reduces queries per like action from 4 to 3 (when including route check) or 3 to 2 (internal storage), and guarantees data consistency.
🔬 Measurement: Verified with pnpm check and pnpm build.

Summary by cubic

Refactored toggleLike to run in a single transaction with atomic likeCount updates. This fixes race conditions and removes a redundant read, reducing one query per like/unlike.

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevent inconsistent likeCount by using atomic SQL updates inside a transaction.
  • Refactors

    • Replace getSong + manual math with SQL COALESCE/GREATEST and returning the updated count.
    • Use db.transaction to wrap select/insert/delete + update in one atomic operation.

Written for commit e2b766f. Summary will update on new commits.

Refactored `toggleLike` in `server/storage.ts` to use database transactions and atomic SQL updates. This eliminates a race condition in `likeCount` updates and reduces database round trips by removing a redundant `getSong` query.

Summary of Changes

Hello @Krosebrook, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly enhances the reliability and performance of the song liking mechanism. By transitioning to atomic database transactions and direct SQL updates, it resolves potential race conditions that could lead to inaccurate like counts and streamlines database interactions, resulting in a more robust and efficient system.

Highlights

  • Atomic Updates: Refactored the toggleLike function to utilize database transactions and atomic SQL updates, ensuring data consistency and preventing race conditions in likeCount updates.
  • Performance Optimization: Eliminated a redundant getSong query within the toggleLike function, reducing database round trips and improving efficiency for like/unlike operations.
  • Data Consistency: Implemented atomic increment/decrement logic directly within SQL update statements using COALESCE and GREATEST functions to handle initial null values and prevent negative like counts.
Changelog
  • server/storage.ts
    • Refactored toggleLike to use a database transaction for atomicity.
    • Removed the initial getSong call to reduce database queries.
    • Implemented atomic SQL updates for likeCount increment and decrement using sql expressions.
    • Ensured likeCount cannot go below zero during unliking with GREATEST.
    • Used returning clause to fetch the updated likeCount directly from the database.

  • No human activity has occurred on this pull request yet.

Code Review

The pull request effectively refactors the toggleLike function to use atomic SQL updates within a database transaction, which is a significant improvement for data consistency and performance. The change correctly addresses potential race conditions and reduces redundant database queries. The use of COALESCE and GREATEST in the SQL updates is a good practice for handling potential null values and ensuring the like count doesn't go below zero. Overall, this is a well-executed optimization.

Pull request overview

This PR optimizes the toggleLike function by replacing the read-modify-write pattern with atomic SQL updates wrapped in a database transaction. The optimization eliminates a redundant getSong query and prevents race conditions in likeCount updates by using SQL-level atomic increment/decrement operations.

Changes:

  • Wrapped the entire toggleLike operation in a db.transaction() for atomicity
  • Replaced read-then-calculate-then-update pattern with atomic SQL updates using COALESCE and GREATEST
  • Removed redundant getSong call (song existence now validated only at route handler level)

return { liked: false, likeCount: updatedSong?.likeCount ?? 0 };
} else {
// Like
await tx.insert(songLikes).values({ userId, songId });

When a song doesn't exist, the insert will fail with a foreign key constraint violation, causing the transaction to roll back and throw an unhandled database error. Consider checking if updatedSong exists after the update (line 130-133) and throwing a user-friendly error if the song wasn't found, to provide consistent error handling similar to the route handler's 404 response.

When a song doesn't exist, the update will succeed but return undefined for updatedSong, resulting in likeCount: 0 being returned. This silently succeeds rather than indicating an error. Consider checking if updatedSong exists and throwing an error if not, to maintain consistency with the "like" path behavior and provide clearer error handling.

P2 Badge Guard against deleted songs before inserting likes

toggleLike now inserts into song_likes without re-checking that the song still exists, so a concurrent delete between the route-level existence check and this storage call can raise a foreign-key error and turn a normal like request into a 500. The POST /api/songs/:id/like handler in server/routes.ts does a pre-check, but that check is in a separate query and can race with DELETE /api/songs/:id; before this commit, toggleLike called getSong internally and returned a safe response instead of throwing.
