Azure Service Bus Message Queue

.. contents:: :local: :depth: 2

Azure Service Bus Queue Provider

Implemented by :class:~airflow.providers.microsoft.azure.queues.asb.AzureServiceBusMessageQueueProvider

The Azure Service Bus Queue Provider is a :class:~airflow.providers.common.messaging.providers.base_provider.BaseMessageQueueProvider that uses Azure Service Bus as the underlying message queue system. It allows you to send and receive messages using Azure Service Bus queues in your Airflow workflows with :class:~airflow.providers.common.messaging.triggers.msg_queue.MessageQueueTrigger common message queue interface.

.. include:: /../src/airflow/providers/microsoft/azure/queues/asb.py :start-after: [START azure_servicebus_message_queue_provider_description] :end-before: [END azure_servicebus_message_queue_provider_description]

Azure Service Bus Message Queue Trigger

Implemented by :class:~airflow.providers.microsoft.azure.triggers.message_bus.AzureServiceBusQueueTrigger

Inherited from :class:~airflow.providers.common.messaging.triggers.msg_queue.MessageQueueTrigger

Wait for a message in a queue

Below is an example of how you can configure an Airflow DAG to be triggered by a message in Azure Service Bus.

.. exampleinclude:: /../tests/system/microsoft/azure/example_event_schedule_asb.py
    :language: python
    :start-after: [START howto_trigger_asb_message_queue]
    :end-before: [END howto_trigger_asb_message_queue]

How it works
------------

1. **Azure Service Bus Message Queue Trigger**: The ``AzureServiceBusQueueTrigger`` listens for messages from Azure Service Bus queue(s).

2. **Asset and Watcher**: The ``Asset`` abstracts the external entity, the Azure Service Bus queue in this example.
   The ``AssetWatcher`` associate a trigger with a name. This name helps you identify which trigger is associated to which
   asset.

3. **Event-Driven DAG**: Instead of running on a fixed schedule, the DAG executes when the asset receives an update
   (e.g., a new message in the queue).

For how to use the trigger, refer to the documentation of the
:ref:`Messaging Trigger <howto/trigger:MessageQueueTrigger>`
