Stratara.ServiceDefaults

Derived. The behaviour described here is specified under openspec/specs/. Those specifications are the source; this page explains and illustrates them.

License: MIT.

Cross-host observability defaults for the Stratara stack. Reference from every host (API, worker) to get OpenTelemetry + Serilog wired up with sensible defaults.

What's in the box

Extension Purpose
ConfigureOpenTelemetry Logging + metrics + tracing with HTTP, EF Core, RabbitMQ, runtime instrumentation; OTLP exporter wired up automatically when OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT is set. Accepts optional MeterProviderBuilder / TracerProviderBuilder callbacks for host-specific extras.
ConfigureSerilog Structured logging with destructuring attributes, async console sink, OTLP sink (gRPC or HTTP/Protobuf based on OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL), dev-mode log cleanup at {Path.GetTempPath()}/stratara-logs/{service-name}.log — the OS temp directory, so not literally /tmp on Windows or macOS.
ConfigureSerilogBootstrapLogger Sets up Log.Logger as a bootstrap logger before the host is built, so early-startup errors surface to the console.

Quick start

builder.ConfigureOpenTelemetry();
builder.ConfigureSerilog();

It deletes your development log file on start-up

In the Development environment only, configuring Serilog deletes the current log file before opening it: %TEMP%/stratara-logs/{OTEL_SERVICE_NAME}.log, where the service name falls back to Unknown when OTEL_SERVICE_NAME is unset. The intent is a clean file per debugging session rather than one that grows across dozens of restarts.

Two consequences worth knowing before they cost you an hour:

  • A crash you wanted to read is gone the moment you restart to reproduce it. Copy the file before restarting, or point the sink elsewhere for that session.
  • Two development services with no OTEL_SERVICE_NAME share Unknown.log and delete each other's. Set the variable per service.

Outside Development nothing is deleted.

Sibling packages

  • Stratara.EventSourcing.WorkerDefaults — one-stop AddBackendServices / AddXxxWorkerServices composites that wire the framework's mediator + outbox + projections + sagas stack.
  • Stratara.ServiceDefaults.AspNetCore — ASP.NET-specific extras: AddDefaultHealthChecks + MapDefaultEndpoints (/health, /alive) and ASP.NET request OTel instrumentation.

Dependencies

  • Stratara.Shared — diagnostics base (ApplicationDiagnostics.Activity.SourceName).
  • OpenTelemetry runtime + exporter packages.
  • Serilog sinks (Console, File, Async, OpenTelemetry).
  • Destructurama.Attributed for destructuring conventions.
  • Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience + Microsoft.Extensions.ServiceDiscovery.

Prerelease dependencies. This package transitively pulls in two prerelease OpenTelemetry instrumentation packages that have no stable release yet: OpenTelemetry.Instrumentation.EntityFrameworkCore (beta) and RabbitMQ.Client.OpenTelemetry (RC). Both ride the stable OpenTelemetry 1.15.x core. NU5104 is suppressed in this csproj with that justification — consumers inherit the prerelease deps transitively. We will swap to GA as soon as the vendors ship stable.

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.
