Azure Service Bus Queue Demo

ℹ️ This repository contains a solution for sending and retrieving messages to an Azure Service Bus queue. For a detailed walkthrough, check out the post on my website, Introduction to Azure Service Bus,

Introduction

This demonstration displays ten stock tickers and their prices.

One app sends a list of prices to an Azure Service Bus queue, and the other app retrieves and displays the data in real time.

There are two projects in this solution:

• StockPrices.Consumer: A Blazor Server app that retrieves stock prices in messages from an Azure Service Bus queue and displays the prices in real time.
• StockPrices.Producer: A console app that sends the prices of 10 stock tickers to an Azure Service Bus queue every second.

Prerequisites

The following is required to run the demo:

• .NET 8 SDK installed.
• An Azure account with permission to create Service Bus resources.
• An Azure Service Bus namespace and queue (connection string + queue name).

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/nfulleylove/azure-service-bus-queue-demo.git
   cd azure-service-bus-queue-demo

2. Configure Azure Service Bus.

   Create a Service Bus namespace and queue in the Azure portal.

   Retrieve the connection string(s) and queue name.

3. Update application settings.

   Add the connection string for your queue(s) to User Secrets or app settings for each project.

4. Run each project.

   Run each project in parallel to see the stock prices update in real time.
