What's missing

Sun, 03 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Thinking about what to build next — and why it's not another clean architecture project.

Chunk-based Batch Processing

Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Why Ingestor processes large import files in 500-line chunks instead of all-at-once — bounded blast radius, partial success semantics, and the tradeoffs that came with it.

Idempotency Key Strategy

Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Designing deterministic idempotency keys for an import pipeline — why SHA256 over file content, what the unique index enforces, and how HTTP clients benefit.

Outbox vs. Message Broker

Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Why Ingestor starts with a database-backed outbox instead of RabbitMQ — and what the switchable dispatcher pattern makes possible later.

Result Pattern over Exceptions

Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Why Ingestor uses a Result type instead of exceptions at application boundaries — what it makes explicit, what it costs, and where exceptions still belong.

State Machine with Explicit Transitions

Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

How an explicit domain state machine with nine states and an enumerated transition table prevents silent state corruption in a long-running pipeline.

Ingestor

Sat, 02 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

A .NET 10 import pipeline built around reliability: outbox pattern, strict domain state machine, idempotent processing, and a config-switchable dispatch strategy — every design decision focused on correctness and auditability.
