Simple, cost-effective message queuing for asynchronous communication. 🔑 Two rules apply to every code sample below: 1. Prefer DefaultAzureCredential. It works locally (Azure CLI / VS Code / Developer CLI) and in Azure (managed identity, workload identity) with no code change. Avoid connection strings, account/API keys — they bypass Entra audit and rotation. - Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential works as-is. - Production: set AZURETOKENCREDENTIALS=prod (or AZURETOKENCREDENTIALS= ) to constrain the credential chain to production-safe credentials. 2. Wrap every client in a context manager so HTTP transports, sockets, and token caches are released deterministically: - Sync: with (...) as client: - Async: async with (...) as client: and async with DefaultAzureCredential() as credential: (from azure.identity.aio) Snippets may abbreviate this setup, but production code should always follow both rules. 1. Pick sync OR async and stay consistent. Do not mix azure.xxx sync clients with azure.xxx.aio async clients in the same call path. Choose one mode per module. 2. Always use context managers for clients and async credentials. Wrap every client in with Client(...) as client: (sync) or async
