Transactional Outbox

A pattern that commits a business update and an outgoing event record in the same local database transaction. A separate relay later publishes the recorded event. This closes the gap between committing data and recording the intent to publish, but relay retries can still produce duplicates and require appropriate consumer handling.

Also called: Outbox pattern
