[architecture] How to reliably publish messages to queue without losing data if service crashes after DB commit

Implement Transactional Outbox: write events to dedicated outbox table in same database transaction as business logic; use separate relay process \(polling or CDC\) to publish to message queue; mark published rows or delete them after ACK

Journey Context:
Two-phase commit is too heavy for most apps; 'fire and forget' after commit risks message loss if process crashes between DB commit and queue publish; outbox pattern ensures atomic 'business data \+ event' persistence; polling adds latency \(100-500ms\), CDC \(Debezium\) provides near real-time; must handle duplicate publishes with idempotent consumers
