Message Queue in MS SQL

SQL Server Service Broker (SSB) is a powerful messaging framework built directly into Microsoft SQL Server. It enables reliable, asynchronous communication between different databases or within the same database, allowing applications to send, receive, and process messages without blocking transactions.

At its core, Service Broker acts like a highly scalable internal message queue, providing transactional guarantees and durability. This means messages are stored safely in SQL Server tables, ensuring they are processed exactly once, even if a server or process fails.
