Queues

- [Instructor] Azure Storage Queues…is essentially a queuing service built on Azure Storage.…It's one of the fundamental storage features of Azure.…And we use it for essentially email between applications.…If you're familiar with Microsoft Message Queuing,…or MQSeries, or Service Bus,…then you already know Azure Storage queues.…Now, bear in mind Azure Storage Queues…are a lot simpler, much more of a fundamental service…than MSMQ, MQSeries, or even Service Bus.…Those are very rich in their APIs,…where a Storage queue is pretty straightforward.…

Now, if you want to use Storage queues…you have many different client libraries.…And if you find a language that doesn't have…a client library you could still talk…to the Azure Storage queues using the REST API directly.…So, what are Azure Storage queues good for?…Well, they're great in many different use cases.…In general terms we will talk about decoupling components.…The idea of taking two components instead…of them communicating with each other directly,…to rather place a queue in-between them…
