Examples

Basic E-commerce Order Processing Setup

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Configure core messaging infrastructure
builder.AddWolverine(opts =>
{
    // Configure custom routing for order events
    opts.PublishMessage<OrderCreated>()
        .ToKafkaTopic("ecommerce.orders.order-created")
        .UseDurableOutbox();
        
    // Configure local queues for background processing
    opts.LocalQueue("order-processing")
        .UseDurableInbox()
        .ProcessInline();
});

var app = builder.Build();
await app.RunAsync(args);

Command Handler with Automatic Validation

// Command definition with validation
public record CreateOrder(Guid CustomerId, List<OrderItem> Items);

public class CreateOrderValidator : AbstractValidator<CreateOrder>
{
    public CreateOrderValidator()
    {
        RuleFor(x => x.CustomerId).NotEmpty();
        RuleFor(x => x.Items).NotEmpty().Must(items => items.Count <= 50);
    }
}

// Handler - validation happens automatically before execution
public static class OrderHandlers
{
    public static async Task<OrderCreated> Handle(
        CreateOrder command,
        IOrderRepository orders,
        IMessageBus bus,
        ILogger<OrderHandlers> logger)
    {
        // Command is guaranteed to be valid
        var order = new Order(command.CustomerId, command.Items);
        await orders.SaveAsync(order);
        
        // Publish integration event for other services
        await bus.PublishAsync(new OrderCreated(order.Id, order.CustomerId));
        
        logger.LogInformation("Order {OrderId} created for customer {CustomerId}", 
            order.Id, order.CustomerId);
            
        return new OrderCreated(order.Id, order.CustomerId);
    }
}

Event Handler for Cross-Service Integration

// Integration event from external service
[EventTopic("ecommerce.payments.payment-completed")]
public record PaymentCompleted(Guid OrderId, decimal Amount);

// Handler automatically discovered and registered
public static class PaymentHandlers
{
    [KafkaListener("ecommerce.payments")]
    public static async Task Handle(
        PaymentCompleted @event,
        IOrderRepository orders,
        IMessageBus bus)
    {
        var order = await orders.GetByIdAsync(@event.OrderId);
        order.MarkAsPaid(@event.Amount);
        await orders.SaveAsync(order);
        
        // Trigger fulfillment process
        await bus.SendToQueueAsync("fulfillment", 
            new FulfillOrder(order.Id, order.Items));
    }
}

Remarks

Wolverine Setup Detailed Configuration Guide

Overview

This method configures Wolverine with enterprise-grade messaging capabilities:

• Registers a keyed PostgreSQL data source for durable message persistence
• Configures Wolverine with CQRS patterns and reliable messaging defaults
• Integrates with OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing and performance monitoring
• Sets up automatic validation, exception handling, and transaction management
• Enables CloudEvent support for standardized cross-service communication
• Provides health checks for messaging infrastructure monitoring
• Skips registration if SkipServiceRegistration is true (for testing scenarios)

The messaging system supports both synchronous request/response patterns and asynchronous event-driven architectures, making it suitable for complex business workflows.

Key Features

Message Persistence

Wolverine is configured with PostgreSQL for durable message storage, ensuring message delivery guarantees and supporting inbox/outbox patterns for transactional consistency.

CQRS Support

Built-in support for Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) patterns with automatic command and query handler discovery and registration.

Observability Integration

Full integration with OpenTelemetry for:

• Distributed tracing across message flows
• Performance metrics for message processing
• Health monitoring of messaging infrastructure

Validation and Error Handling

Automatic integration with FluentValidation for command validation, with configurable error handling policies and dead letter queue support.

CloudEvents Support

Standardized message formatting using CloudEvents specification for interoperability with external systems and services.

Health Monitoring

Comprehensive health checks for messaging infrastructure components including database connectivity and message queue health.

Configuration Patterns

Basic Configuration

The AddWolverine() method provides sensible defaults for most messaging scenarios while allowing customization through the configure action parameter.

Advanced Routing

Support for complex message routing patterns including:

• Topic-based routing for event publishing
• Queue-based routing for command processing
• Conditional routing based on message content
• Dead letter handling for failed messages

Transaction Management

Automatic transaction management with support for:

• Transactional inbox patterns
• Transactional outbox patterns
• Saga pattern implementation
• Compensating actions for rollbacks
