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 |
Everything lives under Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore and its sub-namespaces (.WriteStore, .ReadStore, .IdentityStore, .Abstractions, .Conventions, .Extensions, .HealthChecks, .Migration). The DI extensions sit in Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection, per the Microsoft convention, so they resolve without an extra using.
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
Derive your contexts from the generic base classes — the type argument is the context itself:
using Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.WriteStore;
using Stratara.EventSourcing.EntityFrameworkCore.ReadStore;
public sealed class MyAppWriteDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyAppWriteDbContext> options)
: WriteDbContext<MyAppWriteDbContext>(options);
public sealed class MyAppReadDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyAppReadDbContext> options)
: ReadDbContext<MyAppReadDbContext>(options);
Then register the Npgsql context factories and the write store:
// In your AppHost / Worker / Web project:
builder.Services
.AddNpgsqlWriteDbContextFactory<MyAppWriteDbContext>()
.AddNpgsqlReadDbContextFactory<MyAppReadDbContext>()
.AddWriteStore(builder.Configuration); // binds Stratara:EventSourcing options
Most hosts don't call these directly — the worker composites in Stratara.EventSourcing.WorkerDefaults
(AddCommandWorkerServices(), AddEventProjectionWorkerServices(), …) already compose AddWriteStore
for you. Reach for the explicit form when you build a host that none of the composites fit.
Renamed in 3.2.0: the write-side factory was
AddNpsqlWriteDbContextFactory(missing theg) through 3.1.x. The correctly-spelledAddNpgsqlWriteDbContextFactoryis now the canonical name; the old spelling still compiles as an[Obsolete]alias and will be removed in the next major version.
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;Unhealthywhen the database cannot be reached.AddOutboxHealthCheck(degradedThreshold?, unhealthyThreshold?)— reports the pending outbox backlog under thependingdata key and escalates toDegraded/Unhealthywhen 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.

NuGet packages (3)
Showing the top 3 NuGet packages that depend on Stratara.EventSourcing.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, AddHeavyCommandWorkerServices, AddEventProjectionWorkerServices, AddEventStreamHashWorkerServices, 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. |

Three correctness fixes, all of the same kind: behaviour that failed by succeeding. A pipeline
behaviour registered twice ran twice and nothing said so; a closed generic type name normalized to a
malformed key that two different types could share, and the loser of that collision was discarded
silently; and a heavy command republished from the outbox left its lane whenever its type could not
be resolved. None produced an error, and no test covered any of them. They were found by reading the
code against the specification rather than by a failure report.
### Fixed
- **A pipeline behaviour registered twice now installs once.** Every behaviour registrar used a
plain scoped registration, so a host that called one twice — the ordinary result of composing two
service bundles that each set up their own slice of the framework — installed the stage twice and
ran it twice per request. None of the three consequences was benign: every validator ran twice
against every request, so a validator with a side effect (a uniqueness check against the database)
performed it twice; the tenant guard ran twice, the second time against a second options instance
that could disagree with the first; and two nested resilience pipelines multiplied rather than
added, turning a configured budget of four attempts into sixteen. `AddStrataraValidation`,
`AddStrataraTenantIsolation`, `AddStrataraResilienceBehavior`, `AddCommandAuditing` and the
`AddPipelineBehavior` / `AddPipelineBehaviorWithResult` primitives are now idempotent per behaviour
type. Registering two *different* behaviours is unaffected.
- **A closed generic type name now normalizes correctly.** Resolving a recorded type name is meant to
ignore the assembly version and match on the type name and assembly name alone. For a closed
generic it did neither: the name was truncated at its second comma, which for a generic falls
*inside* the type-argument brackets, so the outer assembly name was dropped and the key became a
malformed fragment. Two closed generics that differed only in the assembly that declared them
collapsed onto one key, and the second registration was then silently discarded — an event
upcaster could match the wrong source type, and a type a host believed it had registered was
unresolvable. Names are now parsed rather than counted, and each type argument is reduced the same
way as the outer name, so upgrading the *payload's* assembly no longer strands rows either.
- **A heavy command republished from the outbox stays in the heavy lane.** When a stored command's
recorded type could not be resolved in the process draining the outbox, republication fell back to
the shared command topic regardless of the lane the command belonged to. Depending on how the lanes
are deployed, the command was then either dead-lettered by the interactive worker or executed on
the interactive lane — the starvation the separate lane exists to prevent. The lane is now recorded
on the envelope when the command is enqueued, so republication no longer depends on resolving the
type.
### Changed
- **Registering two different types under one recorded name now fails.** The trusted-type resolver
previously kept the first and discarded the second without a word, which is indistinguishable from
a registration that never happened: the type simply fails to resolve later, when a stored row is
read. `ITrustedTypeResolver.Register` now throws, naming both types. Registering the same type
again remains a no-op. Reaching this requires two distinct types sharing a full type name *and* a
simple assembly name in one process.
- **`TenantIsolationOptions` follows the options pattern.** The mode can now be bound from
configuration with `Configure<TenantIsolationOptions>(section)` in addition to the
`AddStrataraTenantIsolation(o => ...)` callback, and a second call to the registrar no longer
leaves a conflicting second options instance behind. `Stratara.Mediator` therefore takes a
dependency on `Microsoft.Extensions.Options`.
### Added
- **`CommandEnvelope.Heavy`** records whether a command declared itself long-running when it was
enqueued. Optional and defaulting to `false`, which is how an envelope written by an earlier
version deserializes; the signed canonical form is unchanged, so existing signatures still verify.
