Allows to store and retrieve small pieces of data (Messages)
Designed for scalable async processing
The message can be up to 64 KiB in size
A single queue cannot exceed 500 TiB
Storage Account can support 20,000 messages/sec (1 KiB message)
Single queue can support 2000 messages/sec (1 KiB message)
Supports configurable TTL for messages (Default 7 days)
Visibility Timeout
Messages that are consumed from the queue are not immediately deleted
However the message will not be visible in the queue for a period of time
This time period is called visibility timeout and this enables fault tolerance in the system
To prevent the message from reappearing we need to use the function/ method that deletes the message from queue when consumed
