Using DynamoDB with Brighter V10

Brighter has native support for DynamoDB via dedicated inbox, outbox, and distributed locking providers. In this article, I'll explore how to implement the Inbox and Outbox patterns using DynamoDB to build resilient, eventually consistent .NET services. Project Overview We'll build a .NET 8+ service that consumes and produces messages from a Kafka topic, processes them using Brighter, and uses DynamoDB as the persistent store for the inbox and outbox. This guarantees that all messages are processed exactly once and that no messages are lost, even in the face of failures. We also need to configure a distributed lock to avoid publishing duplicate messages when the application runs in a multi‑node environment. Required Packages Choose between two setup styles: Pure Brighter Packages (AWS SDK v4 recommended) <PackageReference Include= "Paramore.Brighter.Inbox.DynamoDB.V4" Version= "10.3.0" /> <PackageReference Include= "Paramore.Brighter.Outbox.DynamoDB.V4" Version= "10.3.0" /> <PackageRef
