Cloud-Native with ABAP Cloud – The Transactional Outbox Pattern

In modern, distributed system landscapes, ensuring data consistency between a database and a message broker is a common challenge – especially when it comes to the integration of S/4HANA Cloud with Side-by-Side extensions built on the SAP Business Technology Platform (e.g. SAP BTP ABAP Environment, aka. Steampunk) or any other microservice-based architecture.

How do you guarantee that a database update (“Order created”) and a corresponding message (like “Request a shipping of the order”) are never out of sync? The answer lies in the Transactional Outbox Pattern. This elegant solution ensures that these two critical operations are treated as a single, atomic unit, which is vital for maintaining data integrity and building robust, event-driven architectures atop SAP’s core business processes.
