What is this?

Service Bus Queues and Topics covers serverless and messaging patterns on Azure.

Why should you care?

Async work and integrations should not block your API thread.

See it live — copy this example

Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.

# Service Bus Queues and Topics
# Functions / Service Bus / Event Grid — sketch the trigger and the handler

What happened?

Name the trigger, the message contract, and the failure/retry behavior.
Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

Run the CLI/portal steps in a lab subscription.
Write the resource names you used.
Note estimated monthly cost for the SKU.
Repeat in a second region (conceptually).
Add the resource to a simple architecture diagram.

Remember

You can explain Service Bus Queues and Topics simply. You practiced one Azure action. You know a cost or security risk.

What is a release pipeline and how does it differ from a build pipeline? Answer: A build pipeline (CI) compiles, tests, and packages your code — it produces artifacts. A release pipeline (CD) takes those artifacts and deploys them to different environments like Dev, QA, or Production. Example: ● Build Pipeline: Compiles your .NET app and outputs a .zip file. ● Release Pipeline: Takes that .zip and deploys it to Azure App Service. So, the build pipeline = create, and release pipeline = deliver.
