EF Core persistence for the Stratara event-sourced stack — PostgreSQL flavoured via Npgsql. pgvector types are mapped for a model that has vector columns; a model without them runs on a plain PostgreSQL server, no vector extension needed. Bundles four previously-separate Stratara projects into one NuGet because they always ship together:

Folder Contents Old csproj
EntityFrameworkCore/ shared EF conventions, value generators, IDbContext / IReadDbContext / IWriteDbContext / ITenantScopedDbContext / IIdentityDbContext, UnitOfWork base, DefaultDbResolver, NpgsqlDbContextServiceCollectionExtensions, DbContextMigrationUtility Stratara.EntityFrameworkCore
WriteStore/ WriteDbContext, WriteUnitOfWork, event-stream/snapshot/event-chain/command-audit/outbox repositories + entity configurations Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.WriteStore
ReadStore/ ReadDbContext, ReadUnitOfWork, ProjectionsUnitOfWork, Tenant repository, projection entity configurations Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.ReadStore
IdentityStore/ Generic ASP.NET Identity IdentityDbContext + marker Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.IdentityStore

Everything lives under Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore and its sub-namespaces (.WriteStore, .ReadStore, .IdentityStore, .Abstractions, .Conventions, .Extensions, .HealthChecks, .Migration). The DI extensions sit in Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection, per the Microsoft convention, so they resolve without an extra using.

Why folded

WriteStore-without-ReadStore is not a real use case. EF conventions + value generators + UnitOfWork primitives are foundational for every other store. ASP.NET Identity glue follows the same EF Core conventions. Splitting into 4 NuGets that always ship together adds version-management noise (4× <PackageVersion> to keep in sync, transitive-resolution risk) without any consumer benefit.

If your application doesn't use ASP.NET Identity, simply don't reference IdentityDbContext-derived types — the rest of the package works without them.

Quick start

Derive your contexts from the generic base classes — the type argument is the context itself:

using Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.WriteStore;
using Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.ReadStore;

public sealed class MyAppWriteDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyAppWriteDbContext> options)
    : WriteDbContext<MyAppWriteDbContext>(options);

public sealed class MyAppReadDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyAppReadDbContext> options)
    : ReadDbContext<MyAppReadDbContext>(options);

Then register the Npgsql context factories and the write store. Each factory registration also registers the unit of work over its context — IWriteUnitOfWork for the write side, IProjectionsUnitOfWork / IReadUnitOfWork for the read side — unless the host registered its own. The write-side unit of work also draws on ISessionContextProvider and ISecureJsonSerializer, which AddSessionContext() and AddSecurity() provide (every worker composite applies both); with those in place, this is all the store needs from the host:

// In your AppHost / Worker / Web project:
builder.Services
    .AddNpgsqlWriteDbContextFactory<MyAppWriteDbContext>()
    .AddNpgsqlReadDbContextFactory<MyAppReadDbContext>()
    .AddWriteStore(builder.Configuration);                    // binds Stratara:EventSourcing options

Most hosts don't call these directly — the worker composites in Stratara.EventSourcing.WorkerDefaults (AddCommandWorkerServices(), AddEventProjectionWorkerServices(), …) already compose AddWriteStore for you. Reach for the explicit form when you build a host that none of the composites fit.

Renamed in 3.2.0, removed in 4.0.0: the write-side factory was AddNpsqlWriteDbContextFactory (missing the g) through 3.1.x. AddNpgsqlWriteDbContextFactory replaced it in 3.2.0 and the old spelling stayed as an [Obsolete] alias until 4.0.0, which removed it. A host still on the old spelling adds the g; nothing else about the call changes.

Health checks

Two opt-in readiness checks plug into any IHealthChecksBuilder (they require the write store above to be registered):

builder.Services.AddHealthChecks()
    .AddEventStoreHealthCheck()                                  // write-side DB reachable?
    .AddOutboxHealthCheck(degradedThreshold: 1_000,             // outbox backlog depth
                          unhealthyThreshold: 10_000);
  • AddEventStoreHealthCheck() — probes write-store connectivity; Unhealthy when the database cannot be reached.
  • AddOutboxHealthCheck(degradedThreshold?, unhealthyThreshold?) — reports the pending outbox backlog under the pending data key and escalates to Degraded / Unhealthy when the count crosses the supplied thresholds (omit them to stay healthy while reachable).

Both are tagged ready by default, so they show up on a readiness endpoint rather than the liveness (live) one.

Package Downloads
Stratara.Infrastructure

Infrastructure glue for the Stratara framework — authorization decorators, configuration providers, and DI composition helpers that wire Mediator, Outbox, Identity, and EF Core into a hosted app.

Stratara.EventSourcing.WorkerDefaults

Worker-host wiring composites for the Stratara event-sourced stack. IHostApplicationBuilder extensions (AddBackendServices, AddCommandWorkerServices, AddHeavyCommandWorkerServices, AddEventProjectionWorkerServices, AddEventStreamHashWorkerServices, AddSagaWorkerServices, AddOutboxWorkerServices, and AddCommandServices, AddEventProjectionServices and AddSagaServices without the bus-fed workers) bundle the per-concern DI calls so each worker host opts in with one line.

Stratara.Testing.EntityFrameworkCore

Spin up the real Stratara event-sourcing write stack (EventSource, aggregation, snapshots, the EF Core write store) against a shared in-memory SQLite database in one call — production code paths, no Postgres, no Docker. Builds on Stratara.Testing's in-memory doubles.

Stratara.Orleans.EntityFrameworkCore

Entity Framework Core persistence for the Stratara Orleans execution model — the commit-order readers (native PostgreSQL and a portable per-partition counter), the projection checkpoint store and the store-schema additions they need.

Loading failed

A release about errors that were not errors. Where two writers insert the same row at once — two
deliveries forgetting a deleted tenant, two activations writing a partition's first checkpoint, two
hosts importing one API key — the framework already recovered, but EF Core had logged the losing
statement at Error first; on PostgreSQL and SQLite the insert now skips a row that is already there.
And a RabbitMQ bus whose broker went away first no longer reports a warning for every subscription it
stops, nor a failed handler for a message it merely could not acknowledge. No migration and no
configuration change is needed.

### Fixed

- **Forgetting a deleted tenant leaves no error in the log when two deliveries race.** A tenant's two
 deletion facts arrive in two bundles, so two deliveries of one projection can record the same tenant
 at once. The losing insert was caught and the tenant recorded all the same, but EF Core had already
 logged the failed statement at Error (`20102` and `10000`), so a customer deletion could leave two
 errors in a projection worker's log. On PostgreSQL and SQLite the tenants are now recorded with an
 insert that skips a row already there; on other providers the store still retries, and EF Core still
 logs the statement that lost.
- **A projection checkpoint's first write, and an API key two hosts import at once, leave no error in
 the log.** Two activations of one reader that overlap during a failover can both write a partition's
 first checkpoint, and hosts that seed the same key as they boot import it at once. The writer whose
 insert lost recovered — it took the other's checkpoint over, or adopted the other's key — but EF Core
 had already logged the failed statement at Error. On PostgreSQL and SQLite the insert now skips a row
 that is already there, as the record of forgotten tenants does; a checkpoint that another writer
 inserted and removed again before it could be taken over is refused with an
 `InvalidOperationException`. An import takes that path only where it is the only write on its
 context, and then writes the key and its membership in one transaction of its own, outside
 `SaveChanges` and its interceptors. An import on a context with unsaved changes or inside a
 transaction of the caller's saves through `SaveChanges` as before, and so does a table a consumer
 widened with columns the row does not carry, and every other provider: there the writer still
 recovers, and EF Core still logs the statement that lost.
- **A RabbitMQ subscription whose broker is already gone stops without a warning.** When a stack stops
 its broker before its hosts, a stopping subscription's cancel met a connection that had already
 closed, or that closed while the cancel waited for its reply, and every subscription of every host
 logged `108_107` at Warning — new in 4.4.0, which made a subscription cancel its consumer before it
 closes. A closed connection has no consumer left to cancel, which is where the stop was going, so
 this is now logged at Debug as `108_007` (`LogEvents.Messaging.SubscriptionAlreadyClosed`). A cancel
 that fails while the connection is still up still warns.
- **A handler that completes after the broker went away is no longer reported as failed.** Its
 acknowledgement met a closed channel, and the RabbitMQ bus logged `108_101` at Error although the
 handler had succeeded, then tried to reject the message on the same closed channel. It now logs
 `108_008` (`LogEvents.Messaging.MessageNotSettledChannelClosed`) at Information: the message could
 not be settled, and the broker delivers it again.
