Azure Queue Storage

QLess specializes in queue management and appointment scheduling software. Through queue management software, customers are empowered to wait wherever they want: at home, work, or even Starbucks – instead of a crowded lobby. To begin, customers join a virtual queue online. They are given a wait time forecast and timely notifications alert customers as they move to the front of the queue. With appointment scheduling software, customers book an appointment for a future day and time. Meanwhile, you are able to accept walk-ins as schedule openings occur. As the time of the customer’s appointment approaches, QLess automatically places the customer in the virtual queue of your software. Interactive appointment scheduling software offers bi-directional communication, connecting your staff with customers. If a customer is running late, they can request more time. Likewise, your staff can notify the customer if your office is behind schedule.

Use standard or FIFO (first in, first out) queues depending on the number of RPS (requests per second). Use familiar tools for interacting with Amazon SQS, the HTTP API, CLI, and libraries for various programming languages. Message Queue uses fast NVMe-enabled solid-state drives to store messages. Messages are stored as multiple copies in geographically distributed availability zones. This ensures reliable storage and low latency with write confirmations. Message Queue is integrated with cloud functions, a trigger invokes a function that handles messages from a queue. Create a queue and view the number of messages and call duration in statistics. Consumers read messages from a standard queue in random order. Standard queues guarantee that each message is delivered at least once. In rare cases, a message can be received from a standard queue twice. Use standard queues when you need maximum throughput.
