Choose between Azure Queue services – Queue Storage, Service Bus Queue, Service Bus Topics

Suppose you are planning the architecture for your music-sharing application. You want to ensure that music files are uploaded to the web api reliably from the mobile app. we then want to deliver the details about new songs directly to the app when an artist adds new music to their collection. This is a perfect use of a message-based system and Azure offers three solutions to this problem:

• Azure Queue Storage
• Azure Service Bus Queue
• Azure Service Bus Topics

Each has a slightly different feature set, which means you can choose one or the other, or use both, depending on the problem you are solving.

Choose Service Bus Topics if

you need multiple receivers to handle each message

Choose Service Bus queues if

You need an At-Most-Once delivery guarantee.
You need a FIFO guarantee.
You need to group messages into transactions.
You want to receive messages without polling the queue.
You need to provide a role-based access model to the queues.
You need to handle messages larger than 64 KB but less than 256 KB.
Your queue size will not grow larger than 80 GB.
You would like to be able to publish and consume batches of messages.

Queue storage isn’t quite as feature-rich, but if you don’t need any of those features, it can be a simpler choice. In addition, it’s the best solution if your app has any of the following requirements.

Choose Queue storage if

You need an audit trail of all messages that pass through the queue.
You expect the queue to exceed 80 GB in size.
You want to track progress for processing a message inside of the queue.

A queue is a simple, temporary storage location for messages sent between the components of a distributed application. Use a queue to organize messages and gracefully handle unpredictable surges in demand.

Summary

Use Storage queues when you want a simple and easy-to-code queue system. For more advanced needs, use Service Bus queues. If you have multiple destinations for a single message, but need queue-like behavior, use topics.

I hope this will help !!!
