  1. What is the key difference between Azure Service Bus queues and Azure Storage queues?

    Answer: Service Bus supports advanced features like sessions, dead-lettering, and duplicate detection; Storage queues are simpler and cheaper

    Azure Service Bus provides enterprise messaging features like message sessions, dead-letter queues, duplicate detection, and transactions, while Storage queues are simpler and cost-effective.

  2. Which Azure Service Bus feature ensures that messages related to the same entity (e.g., same order ID) are processed in order by a single consumer?

    Answer: Message sessions

    Message sessions in Azure Service Bus group related messages by a session ID and guarantee ordered, exclusive processing by a single receiver.

  3. What happens to a Service Bus message that fails processing repeatedly and exceeds the max delivery count?

    Answer: The message is moved to the dead-letter queue (DLQ)

    When a message exceeds its maximum delivery count, Service Bus automatically moves it to the dead-letter queue (DLQ) for inspection and manual handling.

  4. What is the primary use case for Azure Event Grid?

    Answer: Reactive, event-driven routing of discrete events to multiple subscribers

    Event Grid excels at routing discrete events from Azure services or custom sources to event handlers, enabling reactive, serverless, event-driven architectures.

  5. What is the maximum message size supported by Azure Service Bus in the Premium tier?

    Answer: 100 MB

    Azure Service Bus Premium tier supports messages up to 100 MB, while the Standard tier supports up to 256 KB.

  6. What is the difference between Azure Event Grid topics and Azure Service Bus topics?

    Answer: Event Grid topics route events using filters to push-based subscribers; Service Bus topics use pull-based subscriptions with message locks and acknowledgments

    Event Grid topics use a push-based model with event subscriptions and HTTP webhooks, while Service Bus topics use pull-based consumer subscriptions with message locking and settlement.
