HoneyDrunk.Data.Outbox

EF Core persistence implementation for the HoneyDrunk.Data transactional outbox.

What's Inside

Type	Purpose
`EfOutboxWriter<TContext>`	Adds outbox messages to the change tracker for atomic commit
`EfOutboxReader<TContext>`	Lease-based batch retrieval with compare-and-swap concurrency and expired-lease recovery
`OutboxMessageConfiguration`	EF entity type configuration (table, indexes, concurrency token, LeasedUntil, LastError)
`ModelBuilderExtensions`	`ApplyOutboxConfiguration()` extension for `ModelBuilder`
`OutboxHeaderSerializer`	System.Text.Json serialization for the headers dictionary

Design Constraints

No bus references — does not know about Transport, Service Bus, or any broker.
Only persist, fetch, update — never publishes messages.
Concurrency-safe — Status is an EF concurrency token; per-message CAS prevents double-dispatch.
Lease recovery — messages with expired leases are automatically reclaimed by the next poll cycle.

Setup

1. Apply Entity Configuration

public class AppDbContext : HoneyDrunkDbContext
{
    protected override void ApplyConfigurations(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.ApplyOutboxConfiguration(); // schema: "outbox", table: "OutboxMessages"
    }
}

2. Register Services

services
    .AddHoneyDrunkData()
    .AddHoneyDrunkDataEntityFramework<AppDbContext>(...)
    .AddHoneyDrunkDataOutbox<AppDbContext>();

3. Add Migration

dotnet ef migrations add AddOutbox --context AppDbContext

Context Enrichment

When OutboxOptions.AutoPopulateFromContext is enabled, EfOutboxWriter<TContext> requires a current Kernel IOperationContext and writes both CorrelationId and TenantId onto each message. If no operation context is available, callers must provide explicit non-empty CorrelationId and TenantId values on the message; otherwise the writer fails fast instead of persisting partial Grid context.

Concurrency Strategy

ClaimBatchAsync uses an atomic per-message ExecuteUpdateAsync with a WHERE Status = Pending (or Status = Leased AND LeasedUntil <= UtcNow) guard. The Status column is configured as an EF concurrency token, so only one instance can claim each message. Instances that lose the race silently skip the message.

For higher throughput on SQL Server, replace with a provider-specific reader using READPAST + UPDLOCK table hints.

State Machine

                                 └── DeadLetterAsync ──▶ DeadLetter
                                 │
                            (lease expires) ──▶ reclaimed by next ClaimBatchAsync
