How do I build an Azure Service Bus Queue?

In this guide, we will create an Azure Service Bus Queue using Pulumi. Azure Service Bus is a fully managed enterprise message broker with message queues and publish-subscribe topics. It is used to decouple applications and services from each other.

We will create the following resources:

1. A Resource Group to contain all the resources.
2. A Service Bus Namespace, which acts as a container for all messaging components.
3. A Service Bus Queue within the namespace.

Below is the Pulumi program written in TypeScript that accomplishes this:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as azure from "@pulumi/azure-native";

// Create an Azure Resource Group
const resourceGroup = new azure.resources.ResourceGroup("resourceGroup", {
    resourceGroupName: "myResourceGroup",
    location: "WestUS",
});

// Create a Service Bus Namespace
const namespace = new azure.servicebus.Namespace("namespace", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    namespaceName: "myNamespace",
    location: resourceGroup.location,
    sku: {
        name: "Standard",
        tier: "Standard",
    },
});

// Create a Service Bus Queue
const queue = new azure.servicebus.Queue("queue", {
    resourceGroupName: resourceGroup.name,
    namespaceName: namespace.name,
    queueName: "myQueue",
    enablePartitioning: true,
    maxSizeInMegabytes: 1024,
});

export const resourceGroupName = resourceGroup.name;
export const namespaceName = namespace.name;
export const queueName = queue.name;

Key Points

• Resource Group: A logical container for Azure resources.
• Service Bus Namespace: A container for messaging components.
• Service Bus Queue: A queue within the namespace for message storage.

Summary

In this guide, we created an Azure Service Bus Queue using Pulumi. We set up a resource group, a Service Bus namespace, and a queue within that namespace. This setup allows for decoupling of applications and services using message queues.
