Make Scheduled Email Deliveries Idempotent
A developer of the small SaaS Upwork Scout describes engineering patterns to make scheduled email sending safe when cron jobs run more than once. The author uses a Firestore “deliveries” ledger with deterministic document IDs (userId_jobId) to deduplicate sends, and a timestamp-based lock to limit concurrent runs. The post explains deliberate trade-offs between at-most-once and at-least-once delivery (instant alerts vs daily digests), shows how the ledger doubles as a lightweight queue via status fields, and notes operational costs (extra reads and unpruned ledger growth). The recommended test: run scheduled jobs twice against production-shaped data and verify no externally visible duplicate effects.
