1st Session - Introduction into Azure Messaging

Have you ever had trouble picking a messaging service in Azure? You are not alone. With Storage Queues, Service Bus, Event Grid and Event Hub, there are several options to choose from. And as always: selecting the optimal service depends on the specifics of your use case. So in this talk, we’ll explore the different kind of ’things’ that all tend to fall under the category of messaging. Based on these insights, we’ll explore the different messaging options in Azure - especially Service Bus and Event Grid - and discuss how each of them is optimized for different use cases.
