Azure Service Bus can now integrate with Azure Event Grid. Great news! Currently, it's only possible with Azure Service Bus premium tier, but soon standard tier will get the ability as well. Also, at the moment of writing this post, there's no way to directly integrate EventGrid events with Azure Service Bus to post messages whenever there's an event coming from EventGrid.

Managed Server Identity (MSI)* is a feature of Azure Active Directory (AAD) to allow applications in Azure authenticate to cloud services without managing credentials in your code.

I always found it interesting that most of us start counting earlier than we can read or spell our own names. Almost as if we are predispositioned to count first. Yet numbers can become very difficult later in the game.

Recently, I've received a comment on an older post about message de-duplication that was somewhat peculiar.

ServiceBus.AttachmentPlugin is an Azure Service Bus plugin to help with messages exceeding the allowed maximum size. Sender would store the message body as a Azure Storage blob and receive would read blob content to re-hydrate the message body just before message is given to the consumer code. This assumes that both sender and receiver share the knowledge about Azure Storage account and both can access it. But what if that's not the case?
