Azure Service Bus Message Deferral Implementation

I was recently tasked to create an API that needs to be resilient and decoupled from other systems. So, we used Azure’s Service Bus for this. This API is used in a way where it receives instructions in an order, and that order matters. This part is key.

Memory and Span usage guidelines

NET Core includes a number of types that represent an arbitrary contiguous region of memory. .NET Core 2.0 introduced Span and ReadOnlySpan, which are lightweight memory buffers that can be backed by managed or unmanaged memory. Because these types can be stored on the stack, they are unsuitable for a number of scenarios, including asynchronous method calls. .NET Core 2.1 adds a number of additional types, including Memory, ReadOnlyMemory, IMemoryOwner, and MemoryPool. Like Span, Memory and its related types can be backed by both managed and unmanaged memory. Unlike Span, Memory can only be stored on the managed heap.
