EF Core persistence for the Stratara event-sourced stack — PostgreSQL flavoured via Npgsql + pgvector. Bundles four previously-separate Stratara projects into one NuGet because they always ship together:

Folder Contents Old csproj
EntityFrameworkCore/ shared EF conventions, value generators, IDbContext / IReadDbContext / IWriteDbContext / ITenantScopedDbContext / IIdentityDbContext, UnitOfWork base, DefaultDbResolver, NpgsqlDbContextServiceCollectionExtensions, DbContextMigrationUtility Stratara.EntityFrameworkCore
WriteStore/ WriteDbContext, WriteUnitOfWork, event-stream/snapshot/event-chain/command-audit/outbox repositories + entity configurations Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.WriteStore
ReadStore/ ReadDbContext, ReadUnitOfWork, ProjectionsUnitOfWork, Tenant repository, projection entity configurations Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.ReadStore
IdentityStore/ Generic ASP.NET Identity IdentityDbContext + marker Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.IdentityStore

Namespaces are unchanged from the pre-fold layout (Stratara.EntityFrameworkCore, Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.WriteStore, Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.ReadStore, Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.IdentityStore) so consumer using directives don't change.

Why folded

WriteStore-without-ReadStore is not a real use case. EF conventions + value generators + UnitOfWork primitives are foundational for every other store. ASP.NET Identity glue follows the same EF Core conventions. Splitting into 4 NuGets that always ship together adds version-management noise (4× <PackageVersion> to keep in sync, transitive-resolution risk) without any consumer benefit.

If your application doesn't use ASP.NET Identity, simply don't reference IdentityDbContext-derived types — the rest of the package works without them.

Quick start

// In your AppHost / Worker / Web project:
builder.Services.AddNpgsqlWriteStore<MyAppWriteDbContext>(builder.Configuration);
builder.Services.AddNpgsqlReadStore<MyAppReadDbContext>(builder.Configuration);

Then derive MyAppWriteDbContext : Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.WriteStore.WriteDbContext and MyAppReadDbContext : Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.ReadStore.ReadDbContext.

Health checks

Two opt-in readiness checks plug into any IHealthChecksBuilder (they require the write store above to be registered):

builder.Services.AddHealthChecks()
    .AddEventStoreHealthCheck()                                  // write-side DB reachable?
    .AddOutboxHealthCheck(degradedThreshold: 1_000,             // outbox backlog depth
                          unhealthyThreshold: 10_000);
  • AddEventStoreHealthCheck() — probes write-store connectivity; Unhealthy when the database cannot be reached.
  • AddOutboxHealthCheck(degradedThreshold?, unhealthyThreshold?) — reports the pending outbox backlog under the pending data key and escalates to Degraded / Unhealthy when the count crosses the supplied thresholds (omit them to stay healthy while reachable).

Both are tagged ready by default, so they show up on a readiness endpoint rather than the liveness (live) one.

Dependencies

  • Stratara.Projections — for projection types used by ProjectionsUnitOfWork.
  • Stratara.Shared — for diagnostics + abstractions + resilience.
  • Npgsql.EntityFrameworkCore.PostgreSQL, EFCore.NamingConventions, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity.EntityFrameworkCore, Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore, Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks, Pgvector.EntityFrameworkCore.

Package Downloads
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, AddEventProjectionWorkerServices, AddSagaWorkerServices, AddOutboxWorkerServices) bundle the per-concern DI calls so each worker host opts in with one line.

Stratara.Testing.EntityFrameworkCore

Spin up the real Stratara event-sourcing write stack (EventSource, aggregation, snapshots, the EF Core write store) against a shared in-memory SQLite database in one call — production code paths, no Postgres, no Docker. Builds on Stratara.Testing's in-memory doubles.

### Added

- **Command-workload isolation (heavy-command lane)** — long-running commands can now be routed to a
 dedicated worker lane so they cannot starve interactive commands. Mark a command with the new
 `Stratara.Abstractions.Mediator.IHeavyCommand` marker and the `ICommandOutboxDispatcher`
 automatically publishes it to a separate heavy-command topic (`IMessagingIdentifier.HeavyCommandTopic` /
 `HeavyCommandSubscription`, configurable under `Messaging:HeavyCommand`, defaulting to `heavy-command` /
 `heavy-command-subscription`). Run a dedicated heavy-command worker with the new
 `services.AddHeavyCommandWorker(degreeOfParallelism?)` extension, or the
 `builder.AddHeavyCommandWorkerServices(degreeOfParallelism?)` host composite — in the same process as
 the interactive worker (two lanes) or in a separately scaled host. Each worker's degree of parallelism
 is configurable per lane. `IMessagingIdentifier` gains `HeavyCommandTopic`, `HeavyCommandSubscription`,
 and the `GetCommandTopic(Type)` / `GetCommandSubscription(Type)` routing helpers. The interactive lane
 (`AddMediatorWorker()`) is unchanged and remains the default; commands not marked heavy keep their
 existing routing. If a heavy command is dispatched while no heavy worker is bound, the publish is
 rejected and the command is preserved in the outbox until a heavy-command worker comes online — it is
 never dropped. Works over both the RabbitMQ and Azure Service Bus message buses (Azure Service Bus
 requires the heavy-command topic/subscription to be provisioned, like the existing command topic). New
 log-event ID `105_005` (`CommandWorkerLaneStarted`) in `Stratara.Diagnostics`.
- **Observability metrics across the worker pipeline** (`Stratara.Diagnostics`) — the shared
 `Stratara.Service` meter now publishes throughput and latency instruments so operators can see how the
 event-sourcing pipeline is behaving instead of flying blind on a single counter. New instruments:
 `event_source.events.appended` (counter, tagged by `event.type` / `aggregate.type`),
 `outbox.published` (counter, tagged by `outbox.kind` = `command` / `event`), `command.duration`
 (histogram, ms, tagged by `request.type` / `outcome`), `projection.events.processed` (counter) +
 `projection.bundle.duration` (histogram, ms), `saga.events.processed` (counter) +
 `saga.bundle.duration` (histogram, ms), and `saga.inflight` (up/down counter). They are recorded by the
 event source, command worker, projection worker, saga worker, and outbox worker respectively. Because
 projections and sagas are real-time bus subscribers without a persisted checkpoint, these report
 **throughput and latency**, not consumer lag. No configuration is required — point any OpenTelemetry
 metrics exporter at the `Stratara.Service` meter.
- **Operational health checks for the event store and outbox** (`Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore`) —
 two opt-in readiness checks added to any `IHealthChecksBuilder`: `AddEventStoreHealthCheck()` verifies
 the write-side database is reachable, and `AddOutboxHealthCheck(degradedThreshold?, unhealthyThreshold?)`
 reports the pending outbox backlog (exposed under the `pending` data key) and escalates to
 `Degraded` / `Unhealthy` when the backlog crosses the supplied thresholds. Both are tagged `ready` by
 default (so they map to a readiness endpoint, not liveness) and require the Stratara write store to be
 registered. The write-store DbContext is now also resolvable as a scoped `IWriteDbContext` service to
 support these checks.
- **Polly-backed mediator resilience behavior** (`Stratara.Resilience`) — an opt-in pipeline behavior
 wraps the in-process dispatch of a request marked with the new
 `Stratara.Abstractions.Resilience.IResilientRequest` in the named Polly pipeline the request selects
 (`ResiliencePipelineName`). Register it with the new `AddStrataraResilienceBehavior()` (after
 `AddStrataraValidation()` / `AddStrataraTenantIsolation()` so the retry wraps the handler, not the
 guards); requests without the marker are unaffected. A new built-in pipeline
 `ResilienceNames.ConcurrencyConflict` retries **only** on
 `Stratara.Abstractions.Persistence.ConcurrencyConflictException` (5 attempts, short exponential
 backoff) so a handler that re-reads and re-applies on an optimistic-concurrency clash succeeds without
 bespoke retry loops; it is registered by `AddResiliencePipelines()` alongside the existing message-bus
 and dispatcher pipelines. Only mark handlers that are safe to re-run (idempotent or concurrency-guarded).
