MassTransit In-Memory Outbox

In this episode, the In-Memory Outbox is explained, and a sample is used to simulate the various failure scenarios which are addressed by the outbox pattern. The Trashlantis sample, which uses RabbitMQ, SQL Server, and Microsoft Entity Framework Core 3.1, is based upon an earlier blog post covering the outbox.

Thanks for the video Chris. Initially, I thought that the outbox in MT would be a standalone feature, which could have been used without Saga. Just like in CAP github.com/dotnetcore/CAP and also may be in NServiceBus. Any plans for such an Outbox?

[@PhatBoyG]

There are thoughts around having a database outbox (and the accompanying sweeper/publisher that would read the messages and transfer them to the broker) and a pending pull request to build such a thing, but it hasn’t be slotted on the roadmap yet.

Hi Chris, is it possible to use In-Memory Outbox with Job Consumers? Asking since enabling In-Memory Outbox stopped Job Consumer messages from being published...

[@PhatBoyG]

I don't think so, no, the outbox was not meant for use with job consumers.
