DevOpsifyMe - Azure Service Bus Emulator
Emulator is really an AMQP 1.0 proxy that translates Azure Service Bus specifics into backend implementation specifics. Backend is an actual queue implementation that runs locally, not in cloud, and handles the messages. The main use case is to help with local development experience and with integration testing where application code cannot change driver easily.
See instructions for
At the moment following backends are supported:
- RabbitMQ (AMQP 0.9)
- InMemory (only simple message pipe)
Other backends possible to get implemented:
- Azure Storage Queue (with local Azurite emulator)
- Apache ActiveMQ (also local, supports AMQP 1.0)
- other per need basis
How to run?
See instructions for running from Docker, or for running from Package.
- Add /docker/testca/cacert.cer to Trusted Root on your local machine
- Start RabbitMQ container, or use any other installation you might already have
- Start ServiceBusEmulator, change configuration if needed
- Update connection string in your application :)
