The article covers critical capabilities provided by Azure Service Bus for composing distributed messaging solutions for the hybrid enterprise and how the latest release delivers on the Software + Services vision that was first laid out over five years ago.
The new release includes the addition of Queues and Topics which build on top of an already robust set of capabilities introducing new levels of reliability for building loosely coupled distributed solutions across a variety of clients and services, be they on-premise, in the cloud, or a combination of the two.
There are many exciting changes happening within Microsoft around integration and middleware, and the release of Service Bus Brokered Messaging/Queues and Topics is a strong reflection of the commitment to the platform that I believe is going to make this new wave of innovation more exciting than ever before.
It has been a tremendous privilege to have the opportunity to work with the Azure Service Bus team and experiment with the early bits ahead of release. I’d like to thank Todd Holmquist-Sutherland, Clemens Vasters, Abhishek Lal and David Ingham for the unprecedented access to their team, resources and information as well as kindly and patiently answering my many questions over the last several weeks.
Long live messaging!
