Stratara.Outbox.RabbitMQ
Derived. The behaviour described here is specified under
openspec/specs/. Those specifications are the source; this page explains and illustrates them.
License: MIT.
Outbox-pattern command + event dispatch for the Stratara event-sourced stack with a RabbitMQ message-bus implementation. Contains the write-side dispatchers, the outbox-retry worker, the read-side mediator command worker, the RabbitMQ bus, and the Redis-backed ProjectionReplayState that coordinates dispatch skip during projection replay. Azure Service Bus ships separately as Stratara.Outbox.AzureServiceBus.
What's in the box
| Folder | Contents |
|---|---|
Outbox/ |
OutboxOptions, CommandOutboxDispatcher (write-side ICommand fan-out via IMessageBus, falls back to outbox table on bus failure), EventBundleOutboxDispatcher (same for EventBundle), OutboxWorker (hosted service that retries unpublished outbox rows on a polling interval), NullOutboxLock + RedisOutboxLock (IOutboxLock implementations — default no-op for single-instance deployments, Redis-leased distributed lock for multi-replica setups) |
Messaging/ |
RabbitMqBus — IMessageBus over RabbitMQ. Azure Service Bus ships as the sibling Stratara.Outbox.AzureServiceBus package. |
Mediator/ |
MediatorCommandWorker (hosted service that subscribes to the command topic and dispatches into the in-process IMediator) |
Projections/ |
ProjectionReplayState (Redis-backed concrete IProjectionReplayState; dispatchers skip publishing while replay is active) |
DependencyInjection/ |
AddOutboxDispatcher(), AddOutboxWorker(IConfiguration), AddRedisOutboxLock() (opt-in distributed lock), AddProjectionReplayState(), AddMediatorWorker(), AddMessaging() |
Diagnostics/Extensions/ |
LoggerOutboxExtensions, LoggerMessagingExtensions (source-generated logger surfaces) |
Quick start
// In your API host:
builder.AddMessaging(); // IMessageBus + MessagingOptions binding
builder.Services
.AddOutboxDispatcher() // CommandOutboxDispatcher + EventBundleOutboxDispatcher + ProjectionReplayState
.AddOutboxWorker(builder.Configuration); // OutboxWorker hosted service (only if this host owns retries)
// In your command worker:
builder.Services
.AddMediatorWorker(); // MediatorCommandWorker hosted service
The dispatchers consult IProjectionReplayState.IsReplayActive before each publish and skip dispatch (writing to the outbox table only) while a replay is in progress.
Multi-instance outbox workers
AddOutboxWorker registers NullOutboxLock as the default IOutboxLock — a no-op that preserves the single-instance assumption. For multi-replica deployments call AddRedisOutboxLock() afterwards; it replaces the no-op with a Redis-leased lock (SET stratara:outbox:lock NX EX) so only one replica drains at a time:
builder.AddCaching(); // registers IConnectionMultiplexer
builder.Services
.AddOutboxDispatcher()
.AddOutboxWorker(builder.Configuration)
.AddRedisOutboxLock(); // multi-replica safe
The lease defaults to 60 s (OutboxOptions.LockLeaseSeconds). Tune it so it exceeds the worst-case drain duration; otherwise the lock can expire mid-cycle and a peer may start a concurrent drain. Outbox semantics are still at-least-once, so a duplicate publish is recoverable provided handlers stay idempotent.

The outbox dispatcher persists rows through
IWriteUnitOfWork.CreateOutboxRepository— that interface lives inStratara.Abstractions, but the concrete implementation comes fromStratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore. Reference that package alongside this one to get a working stack.

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) bundle the per-concern DI calls so each worker host opts in with one line. |

Three correctness fixes, all of the same kind: behaviour that failed by succeeding. A pipeline
behaviour registered twice ran twice and nothing said so; a closed generic type name normalized to a
malformed key that two different types could share, and the loser of that collision was discarded
silently; and a heavy command republished from the outbox left its lane whenever its type could not
be resolved. None produced an error, and no test covered any of them. They were found by reading the
code against the specification rather than by a failure report.
### Fixed
- **A pipeline behaviour registered twice now installs once.** Every behaviour registrar used a
plain scoped registration, so a host that called one twice — the ordinary result of composing two
service bundles that each set up their own slice of the framework — installed the stage twice and
ran it twice per request. None of the three consequences was benign: every validator ran twice
against every request, so a validator with a side effect (a uniqueness check against the database)
performed it twice; the tenant guard ran twice, the second time against a second options instance
that could disagree with the first; and two nested resilience pipelines multiplied rather than
added, turning a configured budget of four attempts into sixteen. `AddStrataraValidation`,
`AddStrataraTenantIsolation`, `AddStrataraResilienceBehavior`, `AddCommandAuditing` and the
`AddPipelineBehavior` / `AddPipelineBehaviorWithResult` primitives are now idempotent per behaviour
type. Registering two *different* behaviours is unaffected.
- **A closed generic type name now normalizes correctly.** Resolving a recorded type name is meant to
ignore the assembly version and match on the type name and assembly name alone. For a closed
generic it did neither: the name was truncated at its second comma, which for a generic falls
*inside* the type-argument brackets, so the outer assembly name was dropped and the key became a
malformed fragment. Two closed generics that differed only in the assembly that declared them
collapsed onto one key, and the second registration was then silently discarded — an event
upcaster could match the wrong source type, and a type a host believed it had registered was
unresolvable. Names are now parsed rather than counted, and each type argument is reduced the same
way as the outer name, so upgrading the *payload's* assembly no longer strands rows either.
- **A heavy command republished from the outbox stays in the heavy lane.** When a stored command's
recorded type could not be resolved in the process draining the outbox, republication fell back to
the shared command topic regardless of the lane the command belonged to. Depending on how the lanes
are deployed, the command was then either dead-lettered by the interactive worker or executed on
the interactive lane — the starvation the separate lane exists to prevent. The lane is now recorded
on the envelope when the command is enqueued, so republication no longer depends on resolving the
type.
### Changed
- **Registering two different types under one recorded name now fails.** The trusted-type resolver
previously kept the first and discarded the second without a word, which is indistinguishable from
a registration that never happened: the type simply fails to resolve later, when a stored row is
read. `ITrustedTypeResolver.Register` now throws, naming both types. Registering the same type
again remains a no-op. Reaching this requires two distinct types sharing a full type name *and* a
simple assembly name in one process.
- **`TenantIsolationOptions` follows the options pattern.** The mode can now be bound from
configuration with `Configure<TenantIsolationOptions>(section)` in addition to the
`AddStrataraTenantIsolation(o => ...)` callback, and a second call to the registrar no longer
leaves a conflicting second options instance behind. `Stratara.Mediator` therefore takes a
dependency on `Microsoft.Extensions.Options`.
### Added
- **`CommandEnvelope.Heavy`** records whether a command declared itself long-running when it was
enqueued. Optional and defaulting to `false`, which is how an envelope written by an earlier
version deserializes; the signed canonical form is unchanged, so existing signatures still verify.
