Audit Date: April 11, 2026
Total Handlers Analyzed: 77
With Error Handling: 11 (14.3%)
Needing Error Handling: 66 (85.7%)

📊 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This audit identifies critical gaps in error handling across the CQRS handler layer. Of 77 handlers analyzed:

• ✓ 11 handlers have try-catch error handling implemented
• ✗ 66 handlers are missing proper error handling
• 🔴 CRITICAL: Focus modules (admin, inquiries, leads, reviews) have severe gaps

Error Handling Pattern Found

The recommended pattern identified in existing handlers:

async execute(command: XCommand): Promise<XResult> {
  try {
    // business logic
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof DomainException) throw error;
    this.logger.error(
      `Failed: ${error.message}`,
      error instanceof Error ? error.stack : undefined,
      this.constructor.name
    );
    throw new InternalServerErrorException();
  }
}

🎯 PRIORITY ACTION ITEMS

TIER 1 - CRITICAL (Focus modules + high-risk operations)

These modules directly impact user experience and data integrity:

ADMIN (7 commands, 7 queries)

• All approval/rejection handlers can cause data inconsistency
• Audit logs are mission-critical for compliance
• User status updates must have error tracking

LEADS (3 commands, 2 queries)

• Lead creation/deletion are core business operations
• Status updates affect sales pipeline
• Agent lead retrieval must be reliable

INQUIRIES (2 commands, 2 queries)

• Create-inquiry is high-frequency user-facing operation
• Missing error handling can cause lost inquiries
• Query failures break agent dashboard

REVIEWS (2 commands, 3 queries)

• Review creation/deletion affect agent reputation
• Rating queries are used in search rankings
• Unhandled errors can corrupt review data

SUBSCRIPTIONS (4 commands, 3 queries)

• Payment-related operations are business-critical
• Quota checks must never fail silently
• Billing history must be queryable reliably

TIER 2 - HIGH (Revenue and search impact)

PAYMENTS (2 commands, 2 queries)

• Payment callbacks must have error handling
• Refunds must log failures for reconciliation

SEARCH (4 commands, 4 queries)

• Search failures degrade user experience
• Indexing operations need retry logic

TIER 3 - MEDIUM (Operational)

LISTINGS (2 commands, 3 queries)

• Moderation operations need error tracking
• Listing queries should fallback gracefully

ANALYTICS (3 commands, 5 queries)

• Report generation should log failures
• Market data queries should have fallbacks

AGENTS (1 command, 2 queries)

• Quality score calculation needs error handling
• Public profile queries should never crash

🔧 IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE

Standard Error Handling Pattern for Commands

import { Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import { CommandHandler, type ICommandHandler } from '@nestjs/cqrs';
import { DomainException, InternalServerErrorException } from '@modules/shared';

@CommandHandler(YourCommand)
export class YourHandler implements ICommandHandler<YourCommand> {
  private readonly logger = new Logger(this.constructor.name);

  async execute(command: YourCommand): Promise<YourResult> {
    try {
      // Step 1: Validate input
      // Step 2: Load aggregates from repo
      // Step 3: Execute domain logic
      // Step 4: Save state
      // Step 5: Publish events
      // Step 6: Return result

      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      // Re-throw domain exceptions - these are expected
      if (error instanceof DomainException) throw error;
      
      // Log unexpected errors with full context
      this.logger.error(
        `Command execution failed: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
        error instanceof Error ? error.stack : undefined,
        this.constructor.name
      );
      
      // Throw a generic HTTP exception
      throw new InternalServerErrorException('Operation failed, please try again');
    }
  }
}

Standard Error Handling Pattern for Queries

@QueryHandler(YourQuery)
export class YourQueryHandler implements IQueryHandler<YourQuery> {
  private readonly logger = new Logger(this.constructor.name);

  async execute(query: YourQuery): Promise<YourResult> {
    try {
      // Query logic here
      return result;
    } catch (error) {
      this.logger.error(
        `Query execution failed: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
        error instanceof Error ? error.stack : undefined,
        this.constructor.name
      );
      
      throw new InternalServerErrorException('Unable to fetch data, please try again');
    }
  }
}

What NOT to do:

❌ Silently swallow errors
❌ Return null/undefined without logging
❌ Use generic "Error" throws without context
❌ Log to console instead of logger service

What TO do:

✓ Always log errors with message + stack trace
✓ Re-throw domain exceptions unchanged
✓ Convert other errors to appropriate HTTP exceptions
✓ Use structured logging with context (handler name)
✓ Ensure database transactions roll back on error

NEEDING ERROR HANDLING ✗ (66 handlers)

[Organized by module above in detail]

🚀 REMEDIATION STRATEGY

Phase 1: Immediate (Week 1)

1. Add error handling to all admin command/query handlers
2. Add error handling to all leads command/query handlers
3. Add error handling to all inquiries command/query handlers
4. Add error handling to all reviews command/query handlers
5. Add error handling to all subscriptions command/query handlers

Effort: ~30-40 handlers, ~1-2 developer-days

Phase 2: High-Priority (Week 2)

1. Add error handling to remaining payments handlers
2. Add error handling to remaining search handlers
3. Add error handling to listings moderation handlers
4. Add error handling to agents handlers

Effort: ~18 handlers, ~1 developer-day

Phase 3: Complete (Week 3)

1. Add error handling to analytics handlers
2. Review and audit all implementations for consistency
3. Add integration tests validating error scenarios

Effort: ~8 handlers + testing, ~1 developer-day

---

📐 CODE REVIEW CHECKLIST

For each handler, verify:

• Execute method has try-catch block
• DomainException instances are re-thrown
• Errors are logged with message AND stack trace
• Logger context includes handler class name
• Appropriate HTTP exception thrown
• No empty catch blocks
• No silent error suppression
• Database transactions handled
• Events only published on success

---

🎓 BEST PRACTICES OBSERVED

From handlers with good error handling:

1. Login User Handler - Excellent user-facing error messages

   throw new UnauthorizedException(
     'Không thể tạo phiên đăng nhập, vui lòng thử lại'
   );
   

2. Create Listing Handler - Graceful degradation for non-critical services

   try {
     // duplicate detection
   } catch {
     this.logger.warn('Duplicate detection failed');
     // Continue without warnings
   }
   

3. Bulk Moderate Handler - Per-item error collection

   for (const listingId of ids) {
     try {
       // process
     } catch (error) {
       failed.push({ listingId, reason });
     }
   }

⚠️ RISKS OF MISSING ERROR HANDLING

1. Data Consistency: Unhandled database errors leave partial records
2. Silent Failures: Operations appear to succeed but fail
3. Debugging Difficulty: No logs means no visibility
4. User Experience: Timeout errors instead of clear failure messages
5. Compliance: Audit trail gaps in critical operations
6. Production Issues: Unhandled rejections crash worker processes
