Azure Service Bus Premium - Better latency and throughput with predictability

By
A few days ago the public preview of Azure Service Bus Premium was announced. The first two things that people usually check at a new service like this is price and the added value. In this post we will talk about them.

Added Value
The biggest things between the standard offer and Premium is the dedicated VMs that are reserved only for the end customer. Each VM that is used by Azure Service Bus Premium is isolated from the rest of the customers and will be used only by him.
This means that the performance of the Azure Service Bus will be predictable. This is a very important quality attribute, especially when you need to know exactly how long it takes for a message to arrive at final destination, when latency and throughput needs to be predicted.
When you decide to use the Premium offer, the storage engine that will used behind the scene will not be the standard one, used by Service Bus, but the new one, used by Azure Event Hub - so called Jet Stream.
In this way, we can have dedicated resources (Message Unit) for our namespaces.

Capacity
The capacity of this system is called Message Unit (MU). This capacity unit is dedicated for each namespace that you creates. This means that you can have multiple Service Bus Topics under the same Message Unit. When you need better performance, you can create dedicated Premium namespaces, for each resource (Topic).
The Message Units for each namespace can vary from 1 to 4. Each MU will offer us an isolated "VM", with dedicated resources.

Price
In this moment, in preview mode, the price of Azure Service Bus Premium is 9.368€ per day for each Message Unit (current price is valid only for preview).

Let's see what we can with it (smile).

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...
