The Service Bus premium tier allocates dedicated resources, in terms of messaging units, to each namespace setup by the customer. Additionally, when your workload reduces to normal levels, you can scale down the resources allocated to your namespace. On migration, you can allocate dedicated resources to your Service Bus namespace and appropriately scale up the resources if there's a spike in your workload and reduce the likelihood of being throttled. In that case, it's recommended to migrate your current Service Bus standard namespace to premium. Understandably, some applications may be sensitive to being throttled. Any throttled requests will be retried with exponential backoff and will eventually go through when the credits are replenished. As mentioned later in the article, there's no risk in being throttled because the client SDKs (and other Azure PaaS offerings) have the default retry policy built into them. Throttling ensures that any spike in a single workload doesn't cause other workloads on the same resources to be throttled. With shared resources, it's important to enforce some sort of fair usage across various Service Bus namespaces that share those resources. The request was terminated because the entity is being throttled. When the client application requests are being throttled, the client application receives the following server response. How will I know that I'm being throttled? Each filter evaluation also counts against the credit limit (that is, 1 credit per filter evaluation). When sending to a topic, each message is evaluated against filters before being made available on the subscription. Management operations ( Create, Read, Update, Delete on queues, topics, subscriptions, filters) Here are the credit costs of each of the operations Operationĭata operations ( Send, SendAsync, Receive, ReceiveAsync, Peek) The credit limits are currently set to 1000 credits every second (per namespace). Credits are replenished at the start of the next time period.If the credits are depleted, subsequent operations will be throttled until the start of the next time period.Any operations performed by the sender or receiver client applications will be counted against these credits (and subtracted from the available credits).At the start of each time period, Service Bus provides a certain number of credits to each namespace.Here's the workflow for credit-based throttling. What is credit-based throttling?Ĭredit-based throttling limits the number of operations that can be performed on a given namespace in a specific time period. It is important to note that throttling is not new to Azure Service Bus, or any cloud native service.Ĭredit based throttling is simply refining the way various namespaces share resources in a multi-tenant standard tier environment and thus enabling fair usage by all namespaces sharing the resources. In an attempt to ensure fair usage and distribution of resources across all the Service Bus standard namespaces that use the same resources, the throttling logic has been modified to be credit-based. However, there's an opportunity to refine throttling logic and provide predictable throttling behavior to all namespaces that are sharing these resources. In the past, Service Bus had coarse throttling limits strictly dependent on resource utilization. Standard tier is the recommended choice for developer environments, QA environments, and low throughput production systems. Here multiple namespaces in the same cluster share the allocated resources. The standard tier of Service Bus operates as a multi-tenant setup with a pay-as-you-go pricing model. These limitations may cause throttling of client application requests in both standard and premium tiers as discussed in this article. While this notion is more true in the cloud than it is with on-premises systems, there are still limitations that exist in the cloud. Cloud native solutions give a notion of unlimited resources that can scale with your workload.
