The Azure team has recently reached a new milestone; delivering on Service Bus enhancements for the December 2011 CTP. More specifically, this CTP provides Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) functionality. Within the Microsoft stack, both EAI and EDI have historically been tackled by BizTalk. With this CTP we are seeing an early glimpse into how Microsoft envisions these types of integration … Continue reading Introduction to the Azure Service Bus EAI/EDI December 2011 CTP

In this post, we will discuss a couple of related Queue technologies called Topics and Subscriptions. The purpose of this post will be to describe the conceptual behavior of Topics and Subscriptions and then in a follow up post actually dive into a detailed example of how we can … Continue reading AppFabric Apps (June 2011 CTP) Simple Service Bus Topics–Part 1
