Commit a deduplication marker and the intended database effect together, while treating external effects as a separate consistency problem.
Contenido
Database-only pattern
Give each logical event a stable identity. Within one transaction, insert that identity into a table with a unique constraint. Apply the database effect only if the insert claimed the event. PostgreSQL INSERT ON CONFLICT can support this claim step.
Sketch
BEGIN;
INSERT INTO processed_events(event_id) VALUES (:event_id)
ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING RETURNING event_id;
-- Apply the effect only if RETURNING yielded a row.
-- Both marker and effect commit or roll back together.
COMMIT;
The placeholders are illustrative and must be bound by the database driver. Include the event's namespace when identifiers are not globally unique. Reject the same identity with a conflicting payload according to a documented policy.
Acceptance and limits
Deliver an event twice and then concurrently. The stored effect should occur once. Inject failure after marker insertion but before the effect: rollback must leave the event eligible for retry. This does not make an external email, payment or HTTP request atomic with the database; use a suitable outbox, destination idempotency or reconciliation protocol for that boundary. Keep deduplication state long enough for the permitted redelivery window.
Alcance y fundamento
Original worked method and proposed acceptance fixtures; no empirical performance result is claimed. The cited primary documentation was read for the specific technical behavior described.
