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table on bus failure), EventBundleOutboxDispatcher (same for EventBundle), OutboxWorker (hosted service that retries unpublished outbox rows on a polling interval), NullOutboxLock + RedisOutboxLock (IOutboxLock implementations — default no-op for single-instance deployments, Redis-leased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() reads the options from the ProjectionReplay section of the host's configuration; services.Configure<ProjectionReplayOptions>(...) after that call takes precedence. A lease of zero or less fails the host at start. 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.

A correctness release for the Orleans execution model's store readers, and the release that makes
Stratara say who acted. The native PostgreSQL commit-order reader could be switched off entirely by a
convention this framework's own API reference recommends — silently, in a deployment that reported
healthy. Beyond that, an actor acting on a tenant it holds no membership in can now hold a role the
host names, and work the platform starts for a tenant has a session shape of its own.
**Upgrading:**
- **If you read the store in commit order on PostgreSQL, upgrade.** A write context that applies
`ApplyRowVersionConvention(RowVersionMode.Uint)` made every projection catch-up fail with
`42703: column s.xmin does not exist`, for ever, without the host reporting unhealthy. A consumer
who worked around it by unmapping `EventStreamEntry.RowVersion` can drop the workaround.
- **Check what your `CrossTenantRoles` names mean on both role levels.** The cross-tenant authorizer
now also recognises a configured role held through the actor's own membership, so it permits
operations it refused before.
- **A host whose handlers append events needs `AddCommandAuditing()`.** It always did; now it is
refused before the commit instead of failing in the database.
- No schema change, no migration.
### Added
- **`SessionContext.ForPlatform(tenantId)`**: the session for work the platform starts on a tenant's
behalf — a durable timer, a saga step, a sweep. It carries the reserved system actor identities, a
fresh correlation id and a causation id of its own, so the work can append without a command having
preceded it. Strict tenant isolation recognises the shape and permits it without consulting the
cross-tenant authorizer, recorded under its own log event (`114_104`): the platform acting *for* a
tenant is not one tenant acting *on* another. The data-owner check applies unchanged. A host that
wants to decide for itself sets `TenantIsolationOptions.AuthorizePlatformActor`. Until now the
sentinels existed, the documentation named them, and nothing in the framework acted on them — the
honest session was refused by strict mode, and the session that passed claimed the tenant had acted.
- **`MembershipAuthorizationOptions.HomeTenantRoles`**: roles that resolve in the tenant the actor is a
member of rather than in the tenant the request concerns. For an actor acting on a tenant it holds no
membership in and never can: a machine key, which materialises one membership in the tenant it was
issued for and serves many, or an operator administering a tenant they never joined — both were
refused every role check. Configure it with `AddMembershipAuthorization(o => o.HomeTenantRoles.Add("Service"))`.
Empty by default, consulted only when the actor's tenant differs from the data owner's, and only the
named roles cross.
### Fixed
- **The native PostgreSQL commit-order reader reads a store under any column mapping.** It selected the
event table with a wildcard, which returns no system column. A write context that applies the
framework's own row-version convention maps the entry's row version onto PostgreSQL's `xmin`, so every
catch-up of every projection grain failed with `42703: column s.xmin does not exist` and retried for
ever — no checkpoint written, nothing dead-lettered, the host reporting healthy and every write
succeeding. The reader now names the columns the model maps. A consumer who worked around this by
unmapping `EventStreamEntry.RowVersion` can drop the workaround.
- **Entries committed together reach a store-reading projection in stream order.** The native reader
returned the entries of one commit in the order the database inserted the rows, which is not the order
they were appended in: a stream created and appended to in one save could hand a projection version 2
before version 1, and no retry could help, because the beginning was behind it in the same partition
rather than late. Each stream's entries are now returned in version order, which is what the portable
counter already did. Entries of different streams in one commit may still be interleaved in any order.
### Changed
- **The cross-tenant authorizer now recognises a configured platform role held through the actor's own
membership.** `MembershipCrossTenantAuthorizerOptions.CrossTenantRoles` is documented as the path for
an operator who holds no membership in the tenant they administer, but the role was looked up through
a role check that reads the subject tenant — the very tenant the option says the actor is not a member
of. On the membership level it could therefore never pass, and a machine actor has no global role
level at all, so for a machine actor the option did nothing. The actor's own membership is now
consulted as well.
**This permits cross-tenant operations that were refused before.** Before upgrading, check what the
names in your `CrossTenantRoles` mean on both role levels: a host that configured `"Admin"` intending
the global Identity role now also admits an actor holding a tenant-scoped membership role of the same
name in its own tenant. `"Admin"`, `"Owner"` and `"TenantAdmin"` collide between the two levels
routinely. The widening is in the direction the requirement has always stated, and it reaches only
actors holding a role the host itself named.
- **Appending without a causation identity is refused before the commit.** The session context carries a
nullable causation id, but the store requires one of every entry, and only `AddCommandAuditing()`
supplies it. A host that had not registered it met a `23502` not-null violation from the database that
read like a schema fault. `SaveChangesAsync` now refuses the append before the transaction opens, with a
message naming the registration. `AddCommandServices()` still does not register the auditing behaviours
— where they sit in the pipeline is a consumer's decision.
