Stratara.Outbox.AzureServiceBus
Derived. The behaviour described here is specified under
openspec/specs/. Those specifications are the source; this page explains and illustrates them.
License: MIT.
Azure Service Bus implementation of Stratara.Abstractions.Messaging.IMessageBus. Publishes JSON-serialized messages to topics and exposes a subscription helper that wires up a Service Bus processor with per-message exception classification:
- success →
CompleteMessageAsync ConcurrencyException→AbandonMessageAsync(Service Bus redelivers)- any other exception →
DeadLetterMessageAsync(explicit DLQ with the exception type as reason)
System-level errors (connection drops, auth failures) arrive via ProcessErrorAsync and are logged; the Service Bus client owns the reconnect / retry policy for those.
Install
dotnet add package Stratara.Outbox.AzureServiceBus
Register the bus in your DI composition — one call wires the ServiceBusClient, the envelope
options and the IMessageBus implementation:
// Connection string:
builder.Services.AddAzureServiceBus(builder.Configuration.GetConnectionString("ServiceBus")!);
// Or, preferred in Azure — managed identity, no secret in configuration:
builder.Services.AddAzureServiceBusWithManagedIdentity("my-namespace.servicebus.windows.net");
The AzureServiceBusBus implementation is internal; register it through these extensions rather
than by naming the type.
The explicitly-chosen transport wins.
AddAzureServiceBusreplaces theIMessageBusregistration, so it takes effect even when the RabbitMQ umbrella (builder.AddMessaging(), which the worker composites call) already claimed the slot. Still use one transport per host — calling both is a configuration smell — but an explicitAddAzureServiceBuswill no longer be a silent no-op behind a composite.
Notes
Pre-3.0 this implementation lived inside Stratara.Outbox.RabbitMQ. As of 3.0 the two transports are separate packages so a consumer who only wants RabbitMQ does not drag the Azure Service Bus SDK into the dependency tree (and vice versa).

Three findings from a proof of concept of an alternative execution model, each fixed on the shipped
path. A message a handler cannot take is now redelivered a bounded number of times and then
dead-lettered on both brokers instead of being dropped on one of them; an opt-in closes the window
in which a committed fact could be lost between the commit and its publication; and a version
collision is a concurrency conflict on every supported database provider, not only on PostgreSQL.
Additive on every published surface, with one operator step on RabbitMQ: the worker queues change
name and type, and the old ones are deleted once drained.
### Added
- `Outbox:DurableBundles` (`OutboxOptions.DurableBundles`, default `false`): an event bundle is
written to the outbox table in the transaction that commits its events, published after the
commit, and removed once the bus has accepted it — so a process that ends between the commit and
the publish no longer loses the bundle for every subscription. `IEventBundleOutboxDispatcher`
gains `StoresBundlesWithCommit` and `StoreEventBundleAsync`, and `IOutboxRepository` an
`AddAsync(Guid id, …)` overload, all default-implemented so a consumer's own implementations keep
compiling and keep bus-first. `AddOutboxDispatcher()` now binds the `Outbox` section when the host
carries a configuration. Log event `106_108` records a stored copy the bus accepted but the
framework could not remove. The default path is unchanged; the specification now names its window.
- `IStoreConflictDetector` in `Stratara.Abstractions.EventSourcing`: recognises a database
provider's refusal of a duplicate stream version, so the event source can surface it as a
`ConcurrencyException` on that provider. `AddNpgsqlWriteDbContextFactory<T>()` registers the
PostgreSQL detector and `AddStrataraTestingEventStore<T>()` the SQLite one; detectors accumulate,
so a host on another provider adds its own without displacing the framework's. A host that
registers its write context without `AddNpgsqlWriteDbContextFactory<T>()` gets no detector and
no longer sees a `ConcurrencyException` on a version collision: it switches to that registration,
or registers an `IStoreConflictDetector` of its own that recognises PostgreSQL's SQL state
`23505` in the exception chain (the framework's implementations are not public).
- `MessageRetryOptions` (`Stratara.Abstractions.Messaging`, section `MessageRetry`):
`MaxDeliveryAttempts` (default 3) and `MaxConflictRequeues` (default 100), bound and validated by
`AddMessaging()` and by both `AddAzureServiceBus*` registrations. `MessageRetryPolicy` is the
decision both transports apply. Log event `108_110` and counter `messaging.dead_lettered`
(tags `messaging.topic`, `messaging.subscription`, `reason`) record every dead-lettering; `108_111`
warns when a Service Bus subscription's `MaxDeliveryCount` is below the bounds.
### Changed
- A save now maps and signs its event bundle before the transaction opens, so a save with no
session context — or a signer that fails — fails before anything is committed rather than after
the commit with the events stranded unpublished.
- **RabbitMQ worker subscriptions are quorum queues with a dead-letter queue, under a new name.**
A message whose handler throws is redelivered up to `MaxDeliveryAttempts` times (a concurrency
conflict up to `MaxConflictRequeues` times) and then moved to `<subscription>.dead-letter`; it was
rejected and dropped by the broker before (conflicts were requeued without bound). Because a
classic queue cannot be redeclared as a quorum queue, the worker queue is now
`<subscription>.v2`. **Rollout:** deploy — old and new consumers share the exchange and both
receive every message — then delete the old `<subscription>` queue once it is drained, or it fills
forever. Needs RabbitMQ 3.8+.
- **Azure Service Bus applies the same bounds.** A handler failure is abandoned for redelivery until
`MaxDeliveryAttempts` and then dead-lettered with reason `failure` (it was dead-lettered on the
first failure with the exception type as reason); a conflict is dead-lettered by the framework
past `MaxConflictRequeues` with reason `conflict` (it was left to the broker's `MaxDeliveryCount`).
Set the subscription's `MaxDeliveryCount` at least one above the larger bound.
- `AddAzureServiceBus` and `AddAzureServiceBusWithManagedIdentity` also register a
`ServiceBusAdministrationClient` (try-add) for the advisory limit check.
### Fixed
- The `MediatorCommandWorker` remark said a failing command was dead-lettered; on RabbitMQ it was
dropped. It is now dead-lettered on both brokers, and the remark and the
`BusEnvelopeIntegrityMode.Strict` remark say what happens.
- A duplicate stream version on the SQLite test store (`Stratara.Testing.EntityFrameworkCore`) now
surfaces as `ConcurrencyException`, as it does on PostgreSQL, instead of a bare
`DbUpdateException`. A test that asserted the old exception type needs the new one.
