How do you implement exactly-once processing semantics using Azure Service Bus?
Updated Apr 23, 2026
Short answer
Use idempotency, duplicate detection, and transactional processing.
Deep explanation
Service Bus provides at-least-once delivery, so exactly-once must be achieved at application level. Use MessageId for deduplication, store processed message IDs in DB, and implement idempotent logic. Combine with transactions to ensure atomic DB + message operations.
