Database Schema — PostgreSQL (Supabase)

Tenant isolation via company_id on every table. Row Level Security enforced at Postgres level. Composite indexes on (company_id, user_id), (company_id, date), (company_id, check_out) for O(log n) lookups at scale. Partial index on open sessions prevents N+1 queries for active status checks.

-- ============================================================
-- MULTI-TENANT SCHEMA — AttendFlow
-- Full tenant isolation via company_id + RLS
-- ============================================================

-- 1. COMPANIES (root of tenant tree)

API Routes — Next.js App Router (TypeScript)

Server Actions and API Routes with Zod validation, rate limiting, and optimistic concurrency. The check-in endpoint uses a PostgreSQL advisory lock + the unique partial index to prevent double check-in under any race condition.

// app/api/attendance/check-in/route.ts
import { createRouteHandlerClient } from '@supabase/auth-helpers-nextjs'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'
import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from 'next/server'

import { rateLimit } from '@/lib/rate-limit'

const CheckInSchema = z.object({
  location: z.enum(['office', 'wfh', 'other']),
})

export async function POST(req: NextRequest) {
  // 1. Rate limit: 10 req/min per user IP
  const limiter = await rateLimit(req, { max: 10, window: '1m' })
  if (!limiter.success) return NextResponse.json(
    { error: 'Too many requests' }, { status: 429 }
  )

  // 2. Auth check
  const supabase = createRouteHandlerClient({ cookies })
  const { data: { session } } = await supabase.auth.getSession()
  if (!session) return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 })

  // 3. Zod validation
  const body = await req.json()
  const parsed = CheckInSchema.safeParse(body)
  if (!parsed.success) return NextResponse.json(
    { error: parsed.error.flatten() }, { status: 400 }
  )

  // 4. Get user profile (company_id + max sessions policy)
  const { data: user } = await supabase
    .from('users')
    .select('id, company_id, role')

    .single()

    return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Already checked in' }, { status: 409 })
  if (error)
    return NextResponse.json({ error: error.message }, { status: 500 })

  // 7. Audit log (fire-and-forget)
  supabase.from('audit_logs').insert({
    company_id: user.company_id, user_id: user.id,
    action: 'CHECK_IN',
    metadata: { session_id: data.id, location: parsed.data.location },

Tenant Isolation & Scale Strategy

Why this scales to 10,000+ companies:

1. Shared schema, row-level isolation — All tenants in one Postgres instance. company_id on every row. Simpler than schema-per-tenant, scales to 10k+ companies without connection limits.

2. RLS enforced at Postgres level — Even a compromised API route cannot leak cross-tenant data. The DB refuses it.

3. Composite B-tree indexes — Queries like "all sessions for company X today" use (company_id, DATE(check_in)) index. With 1M rows across 1000 companies, each company scans ~1000 rows max.

4. Partial index prevents race conditions — UNIQUE INDEX on (company_id, user_id) WHERE check_out IS NULL means the DB itself prevents two simultaneous check-ins. No application-level lock needed. Works correctly even under 10,000 concurrent requests.

5. Realtime channel filtering — Each company subscribes to its own channel with server-side filter: company_id=eq.{id}. Only relevant events are sent over the wire.

6. Aggregated dashboard query — Single RPC call with CTEs replaces N+1 patterns. Dashboard for 100-employee company = 1 DB round-trip.

7. Rate limiting per company — Upstash Redis sliding window: 100 req/min per company_id prevents noisy-neighbor abuse.

8. Future sharding path — When needed: shard by company_id range across Postgres instances with PgBouncer. The schema is already prepared.
