Service Broker
Compañeros, we are going to get back into the engine this episode and go back to a feature that has been available since 2005–Service Broker. If you are wondering what service broker is–you aren’t alone. In this episode, I chat with Wolf about how he uses it, the major components, and scenarios where you might use it.
Service broker, like the early version of extended events, doesn’t get much love due to the lack of a GUI. If you are using service broker, I would love to hear from you below in the comments. How are you using it? What issues have you had?
