In an example embodiment, a solution is provided in which an outbox table is added to each container in a database. Rather than perform an emit solely using the application instance alone (in response to a notification from the database that the underlying database action has been performed), or using an outside outbox table processor, an outbox table processor is integrated into the microservice application. When a database action is performed by the microservice application, that database action is written into the outbox table in the corresponding container in the database. Furthermore, whenever the outbox table processor determines that the state of the database has changed in a way that leads to an emit, it then reads the actions in the outbox table, issues an emit to notify one or more external systems of the actions, and deletes those actions from the outbox table.
