Welcome!

Why should you use Namastack Outbox for Spring Boot?

  • Reliable Event Delivery

    Ensure each event is delivered at least once, even if failures occur. Retries and transactional storage guarantee no events are lost.

  • Consistent State and Messages

    Keep your database and message broker in sync by storing events within the same transaction as your business data.

  • Asynchronous Scalability

    Offload message publishing to a background process, allowing your main workflow to remain fast and responsive.

  • Simple and Transparent

    Designed for simplicity — no complex infrastructure required. Just use your database and a reliable message dispatcher.

  • Observability and Monitoring

    Track the status of your outbox events and failures with metrics, logs, and dashboards, making it easier to debug and operate reliably.

  • Transactional Safety

    Outbox ensures your business operations are atomic — either both the database update and message dispatch succeed, or neither does.

How It Works

Namastack Outbox for Spring Boot brings bulletproof reliability to your event-driven systems — combining transactional integrity with seamless message delivery.

When your application writes data, both the entity table and the outbox table are updated within a single ACID transaction. This guarantees that your domain state and outgoing events are always consistent — even if the system crashes mid-operation.

A background outbox scheduler polls the database for new outbox records and hands them off to your custom outbox processor — a lightweight interface you implement to publish messages to your broker (e.g. Kafka, RabbitMQ, SNS).

Once messages are successfully delivered, they’re marked as processed.
This architecture ensures:

  • Zero message loss, even under failure
  • Strict per-aggregate ordering for deterministic processing
  • Horizontal scalability with hash-based partitioning
  • At-least-once delivery with safe retry policies and observability

With Namastack Outbox for Spring Boot, you get the reliability of database transactions — and the resilience of message-driven design.
Build confidently, scale safely, and never lose an event again.
