All three alarm-history writers inserted one event per round trip, serially
(SqlServer also opened a pooled connection per event), so a 10000-event
alarm storm drained at 10000 x RTT while the backlog sat in LocalDb.
- Sql.Common.AlarmBatchWrite: one statement per chunk; a chunk that fails
PermanentFail-class is re-sent event by event so only the poison event
dead-letters; a transient failure retries the chunk; a cancellation never
dead-letters.
- SqlServer: multi-row insert-if-absent over a VALUES set (150 events per
statement, under the 2100-parameter limit), duplicate ids in a batch
written once; a duplicate-key race isolates per event, where it is Ack.
No new table type, so no schema migration (the review suggested a TVP;
the VALUES form gets the same one-round-trip-per-chunk without one).
- QuestDb: multi-row INSERTs of 500 events; pre-1970 events still
dead-letter unsent.
- Gateway: no batch RPC exists, so sends are pipelined, at most 8 in
flight, outcomes kept in input order.
Rebased from the unpushed remed/lane-H2 branch (originally authored 2026-10-22
in session_01Ub9hGmYLQvn9XETzw7CMsT) onto current master.
