Delving into topics and subscriptions

Azure Service Bus encompasses a multitude of services and capabilities. Among them, the concepts of topics and subscriptions stand out for their ability to facilitate one-to-many and many-to-many communication. Let’s delve into the details of topics and subscriptions, their usage, and their intricacies.

In Azure Service Bus, a topic acts as a message channel where senders (publishers) push messages. Conversely, one or more subscriptions can be associated with a topic and act as a virtual queue, enabling recipients (subscribers) to pull these messages.

The beauty of this model lies in its flexibility – a single topic can have multiple subscriptions, and each subscription can have multiple subscribers. This allows a single message sent to a topic to be received by multiple subscribers, thereby facilitating efficient one-to-many communication.

In the upcoming section, we will address the following nuances and aspects of topics...
