Questions tagged [azure-queues]

Microsoft Azure (formerly Windows Azure before March 25, 2014) is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure, created by Microsoft, for building, deploying and managing applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers. Azure Queue storage is used for transporting messages between applications as normally we can consider a MSMQ do that in cloud.

Azure Queue Storage is a service for storing large numbers of messages. You access messages via authenticated calls using HTTP or HTTPS. A queue message can be up to 64 KB in size. Queues are commonly used to create a backlog of work to process asynchronously.

Performance impact of calling CreateIfNotExistsAsync() on a Azure queue

Should I call CreateIfNotExistsAsync() before every read/write on Azure queue? I know it results in a REST call, but does it do any IO on the queue? I am using the .Net library for Azure Queue (if this info is important).
