AI-200 Event Driven Integration Practice Question
Your enterprise application uses Azure Service Bus Topics to distribute orders to inventory and billing services. A transient database outage occurs in the billing service. You must ensure that billing messages are not lost and can be retried without interfering with the inventory service. What feature should you configure?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure separate subscriptions for each service under the Service Bus Topic.
Service Bus Subscriptions support sessions, dead-lettering, and independent subscriber configuration. Each subscription acts as a virtual queue, ensuring the billing service can process messages independently of inventory.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable partitioned queues on the sender application.
Why it's wrong here
Partitioning distributes load across brokers for throughput, but does not solve independent subscriber isolation.
- ✗
Use Event Grid filters to duplicate the messages into two separate storage accounts.
Why it's wrong here
Storage accounts do not handle transactional message locking and retries like Service Bus.
- ✓
Configure separate subscriptions for each service under the Service Bus Topic.
Why this is correct
Separate subscriptions allow each application to maintain its own cursor and processing state, isolating failures.
- ✗
Implement Azure Relay to tunnel the database connection.
Why it's wrong here
Azure Relay is for hybrid connectivity, not message distribution.
