Welcome to Azure Service Bus Tiers. Azure Service Bus has three tiers: Basic, Standard, and Premium. The Basic tier is just what it says. It really only supports queues and scheduled messages.
The Standard tier of Azure Service Bus is the default tier and it provides basic messaging features for decoupling applications and services from each other. It supports reliable message queuing and durable publish/subscribe messaging using queues, topics, and subscriptions. The Standard tier is suitable for most development and testing scenarios.
The Premium tier of Azure Service Bus, on the other hand, addresses common customer requests around scale, performance, and availability for mission-critical applications. It provides resource isolation at the CPU and memory level, allowing each customer workload to run in isolation. The Premium tier is recommended for production scenarios that require high throughput, low latency, and strict message ordering. It also supports advanced features such as message sessions, auto-forwarding, and partitioning.
It is worth noting that the Premium tier comes at a higher cost compared to the Standard tier, as it provides more advanced and reliable messaging capabilities. Additionally, the Premium tier of Service Bus has different pricing models based on the selected features and messaging units, which can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of the application.
So, you want to remember that Azure Service Bus provides three different tiers to cater to various messaging needs of the customers. The Basic tier supports only queues and scheduled messages, while the Standard tier offers basic messaging features suitable for most development and testing scenarios. The Premium tier provides resource isolation and advanced messaging features, making it an ideal choice for production scenarios with high throughput, low latency, and strict message ordering requirements.
It is important to note that the Premium tier comes at a higher cost compared to the Standard tier, and it offers different pricing models based on the selected features and messaging units. Therefore, customers should choose the appropriate tier based on their specific application requirements and budget.
