How to work with Azure Service Bus queues in .Net
A queue is a data structure that works on a FIFO (first in first out) basis. Items are inserted at the end of the queue and removed from the beginning. The term “Enqueue” describes the operation that inserts data in the queue, while the term “Dequeue” denotes the removal of data from the queue.
Azure Service Bus is a scalable message fabric that provides reliable messaging as an Azure cloud service. You can use it for three different types of messaging: service relays between on-prem and cloud environments, topics for one-to-many publish/subscribe communications, and queues. This article will illustrate how we can work with Azure Service Bus queues using .Net.
