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 ProjectionReplayState that coordinates dispatch skip during projection replay — shared over Redis where a connection is registered, held in process otherwise. 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table on bus failure), EventBundleOutboxDispatcher (same for EventBundle), OutboxWorker (hosted service that retries unpublished outbox rows on a polling interval), NullOutboxLock + RedisOutboxLock (IOutboxLock implementations — default no-op for single-instance deployments, Redis-leased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. A worker subscription is a quorum queue <subscription>.v2 with <subscription>.dead-letter beside it; a message a handler cannot take is redelivered under MessageRetryOptions and then dead-lettered. 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 (concrete IProjectionReplayState, Redis-backed where a connection is registered, in process otherwise; dispatchers skip publishing while replay is active), ProjectionReplayOptions (how long the replay marking survives without renewal)
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. They also record the outbox.published counter for what the broker accepted — the worker counts nothing, because only the dispatcher knows what went out.

The replay marking and its progress counters are held on the lease configured by ProjectionReplayOptions.LeaseSeconds (default 300), which the replay renews every time it reports progress. A replay whose host is killed stops renewing it and the marking lapses on its own, instead of suppressing publication indefinitely. AddProjectionReplayState() registers the options with their defaults; override with services.Configure<ProjectionReplayOptions>(...). Set it longer than the slowest stretch between two progress reports — too short lets the marking lapse while the replay is still running.

A drain cycle takes one batch of each kind and ends. Rows the broker would not accept stay in the table for the next interval; a cycle never re-reads what it just failed to publish, so an unreachable broker or a suppressed drain cannot turn a cycle into a loop over the same rows.

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.

Dependencies

  • Stratara.Abstractions — for ICommand, IEvent, IMessageBus, ICommandOutboxDispatcher, IEventBundleOutboxDispatcher, IProjectionReplayState, IMessagingIdentifier, IWriteUnitOfWork (used at runtime via the outbox repository).
  • Stratara.Contracts — for EventBundle + CommandEnvelope messages.
  • Stratara.Mediator — MediatorCommandWorker dispatches into the in-process IMediator.
  • Stratara.Sessions — dispatcher hydrates CommandEnvelope from the current session context.
  • Stratara.Shared — for messaging primitives, resilience pipeline names, mapping helpers, and the diagnostics base.
  • RabbitMQ.Client, StackExchange.Redis (only used when a connection is registered: shared replay state, optional outbox lock).
  • Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.Abstractions + Microsoft.Extensions.Options.ConfigurationExtensions — for hosted services + options binding.

The outbox dispatcher persists rows through IWriteUnitOfWork.CreateOutboxRepository — that interface lives in Stratara.Abstractions, but the concrete implementation comes from Stratara.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, 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.

Correctness fixes for the Orleans execution model ahead of production use. Recorded commands can no longer
reach a bus drain, a durable timer fires once however long its handler runs, and heavy commands are
specified as the exception to the one-writer-per-aggregate promise they always were. The execution-model
reset removes only the host's own checkpoints, and three store-level fixes land for the partition
counter, its backfill and a checkpoint's first write. No schema change; **stop every bus outbox worker
before upgrading hosts that record commands through the execution model**, and register
`AddStrataraIntentStore` on the silos that run the drain.

### Changed

- **Orleans: the execution-model reset removes only the checkpoints of the host's own projections and
 sagas.** It removed every checkpoint in the read store, so a reset in one deployment made another
 deployment sharing the read store rebuild its projections unasked. The reset now removes the
 checkpoints of the projections and sagas registered in the composition it is resolved from, and the
 report counts only those. A checkpoint of a projection the host no longer registers stays; nothing
 reads it. Resolve the reset from the host's own composition — one that registers no store reader
 removes no checkpoint.
- **The documentation states when a read store can be shared.** Checkpoints are keyed by consumer, not
 by deployment: deployments sharing a read store need distinct projection names, and at most one of
 them runs `AddStrataraSagaGrains`.
- **Orleans: heavy commands are specified as running outside their aggregate's turn and order.** They
 always ran in their own bounded pool beside the aggregate's other commands; the specification promised
 otherwise. Their hand-over no longer holds the per-aggregate send order either: a command dispatched after
 a heavy command for the same aggregate no longer waits for it, and two due heavy commands on one aggregate
 no longer hold up the drain's resume pass. Where a heavy command and another command on the same aggregate
 both append, the store's version check refuses the later one, which is resumed like any failing command.
- **Orleans: a recorded command is stored under a kind of its own.** No bus outbox drain reads it any more.
 Commands recorded under 4.1.0 are still resumed; stop every bus outbox worker before upgrading hosts that
 record commands.

### Fixed

- **Orleans: the outbox drain no longer publishes recorded commands to the bus.** It chose between resuming
 recorded commands and publishing stored commands by whether the execution model's dispatcher was
 registered on its own silo, and the migration guide registers the dispatcher on the API host and the drain
 on the silos. Such a silo handed every recorded command — kept ones included — to the bus: commands ran
 twice, kept commands came back, the attempt bound did not hold. The drain now resumes recorded commands
 wherever an intent store is registered and warns (`117_111`) where recorded commands exist but none is.
 Register `AddStrataraIntentStore` on the silos that run the drain.
- **Orleans: a durable timer fires once however long its handler runs.** A handler that outlasted the
 reminder call's response timeout was started again by the next tick. A tick that arrives while the same
 timer's handler runs now does nothing, and a tick confirms its timer is still registered before firing.

- **Orleans: two writers of the same first checkpoint no longer fail one of them.** When an
 activation and its successor overlap during a failover, both can find no checkpoint row and both
 insert it; the one that lost to the key threw. It now updates the row the other inserted.
- **Orleans: the partition counter works on a model that does not use snake-case names.** The
 interceptor advanced the counter with SQL naming `partition_position` and its columns literally, so
 a write context mapping the counter under other names failed every append. It now goes through the
 context's model, as the native reader already did.
- **Orleans: the partition-counter backfill positions old entries in the order they were appended.**
 It ordered each partition's history by bucket first, so a projection or saga reading across
 aggregates saw the facts of one bucket before earlier facts of another. Entries are now positioned
 in sequence order, as the event-sourcing-store specification already promised. A store backfilled
 under 4.1.0 keeps the positions it was given; the backfill does not reposition entries.
