Azure Queue Storage is a cloud-based queue service for storing messages and enabling communication between distributed application systems. The messages can be accessed via authenticated HTTP or HTTPS calls from anywhere in the world and can typically store millions of messages based on the storage capacity.
Queue service is often used by the organization to create and manage the backlog of work to process asynchronously. It allows you to build the distributed application and decouple the functionality for better durability across large workloads.
