[Tools] Cleaning Up Azure Service Bus Dead-Letter Queues with .NET
Published: at 12:00 PMIn cloud-based applications, message queues are essential for reliable communication between services, with Azure Service Bus being a popular choice. However, messages that cannot be delivered or processed are moved to dead-letter queues (DLQs). Accumulating dead-letter messages without regular cleanup can lead to storage overruns and performance issues. This post explains the importance of cleaning up DLQs to prevent issues like QuotaExceededException and ensure system reliability. It also provides a guide on implementing a .NET background service to automate the cleanup process by moving dead-letter messages to Azure Blob Storage for later analysis or reprocessing. This approach helps maintain optimal system performance while preserving valuable data for future troubleshooting.
