Asynchronously process messages by using Azure Service Bus Queues
About this guide
Lab Scenario
In this lab, you will create a proof of concept for this scenario by employing an Azure Service Bus Queue. To demonstrate how the system could function, you will create a .NET project that will publish messages to the system, and a second .NET application that will read messages from the queue. The first app will simulate data coming from a sensor, while the second app will simulate the system that will read the messages from the queue for processing.
