Service Bus Queues are part of a broader Windows Azure messaging infrastructure that supports queuing as well as publish/subscribe, web service remoting, and integration patterns.

Service Bus Queues support a brokered messaging communication model. When using queues, components of a distributed application do not communicate directly with each other, they instead exchange messages via a queue, which acts as an intermediary. A message producer (sender) hands off a message to the queue and then continues its processing. Asynchronously, a message consumer (receiver) pulls the message from the queue and processes it. The producer does not have to wait for a reply from the consumer in order to continue to process and send further messages.

Service Bus Queues are accessed through the following APIs:

BizTalk Server 2010 allows us to develop solutions that use any of the above API's. In this article we will look at the easiest and most commonly used pattern for connecting to external systems, the BizTalk Messaging and WCF-Adapter model.
