How do you send XML files using Azure Storage Queue?


I have a requirement to send xml files between 2 servers. These files could be up to 1mb.

I was considering using an Azure Storage Queue as an intermediary destination for these files but read that there is a 64kb limit on message size. I would imagine the requirement to send messages in excess of 64kb is not uncommon.

Is there a way round the limit? Compressing perhaps?


Solution

  • Queueing is not storage.

    Save the payload in azure blob storage then send a message in queue with a link to the blob.
