Hi Nader,

You'll get the full benefit of PersistentFSM if you use event sourcing and 
use the PersistentFSM actor to persist your business events.
In PersistentFSM you can persist domain events as part of a state change. 
This way either both state change and your event are persisted successfully 
or they both fail: 

abstract class TransactionIssueSolved extends PersistentFSM[State, Any, Any] {

  startWith(InProcess, EmptyIssueData)

  when(InProcess) {
    case Event(commit: Commit, _) =>
      goto(Closed) applying Committed(commit.name)
  }

  initialize()
}
