Recoverability with Azure Functions - Delayed Retries
In the previous post, I showed how to implement basic recoverability with Azure Functions and Service Bus. In this post, I'm going to expand on the idea and demonstrate how to implement a back-off strategy.

Recoverability with Azure Functions
When working with Azure Service Bus triggers and Functions, the recoverability story is not the best with the out-of-box implementation. To understand the challenges with the built-in recoverability and how to overcome those, this post will dive into the built-in recoverability with Azure Functions for Service Bus queues and subscriptions, offering an alternative. But first, what is recoverability?

Service Bus Message to Blob
About 5+ years ago I blogged about turning messages into audit blobs. Back then, it was for Storage Queue messages and the early Azure Functions implementation that required portal configuration. Since then, Storage Queues has been replaced by Azure Service Bus and Azure Functions has gained the ability to declare everything through the code. And not only that but also in two different ways, using

Azure Functions to make audit queue and auditors happy
Using NServiceBus on Azure allows the best of two worlds – robust and reliable messaging framework on top of excellent Azure services. Azure services and any other cloud provider as well have strict capacity and quotas. For Azure transports NServiceBus is using, those are usually allowed maximum throughput, the total number of messages, the number of concurrent connections, etc. With Azure Storage Queues there’s an additional constraint that while is not significant on its own, does have a weight in a system: maximum message TTL is seven days only. Yes, yes, you’ve heard right. 7 days only. Almost as if someone at the storage team took the saying “a happy queue is an empty queue” and implemented maximum message TTL using that as a requirement. While it’s ok to have such a short message TTL for a message that is intended to be processed, for messages that are processed and need to be stored that could be an issue.
