Fixing the Dual-Write Problem in Node.js Microservices with the Transactional Outbox Pattern

Distributed systems frequently suffer from data inconsistencies when updating a database and publishing message events simultaneously. The dual-write problem leads to lost events or ghost records during system crashes. This technical guide demonstrates how to implement the Transactional Outbox Pattern in Node.js with PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ. #Nodejs #Microservices #Database #SystemDesign #OutboxPattern #PostgreSQL #Kafka #RabbitMQ #Backend #Architecture
