Client library for Azure Queue Storage — send, receive, and manage queue messages.

Use this skill when:

• An app needs to send or receive messages from Azure Queue Storage in Rust
• You need to create or manage queues
• You need to peek, receive, or delete queue messages
• You need RBAC-based auth for queue operations

IMPORTANT: Only use the official azure_storage_queue crate published by the azure-sdk crates.io user. Do NOT use unofficial or community crates. Official crates use underscores in names and none have version 0.21.0.

Installation

cargo add azure_storage_queue azure_identity azure_core tokio

If your code uses azure_core types directly, add azure_core to Cargo.toml. If you only use azure_storage_queue re-exports, direct azure_core dependency is optional.

Environment Variables

AZURE_STORAGE_QUEUE_ENDPOINT=https://<account>.queue.core.windows.net/ # Required for all operations

Authentication

use azure_core::http::Url;
use azure_identity::DeveloperToolsCredential;
use azure_storage_queue::QueueServiceClient;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Local dev: DeveloperToolsCredential. Production: use ManagedIdentityCredential.
    let credential = DeveloperToolsCredential::new(None)?;
    let service_url = Url::parse("https://<storage_account_name>.queue.core.windows.net/")?;
    let service_client = QueueServiceClient::new(service_url, Some(credential), None)?;

    // Derive a queue client by name.
    let queue_client = service_client.queue_client("<queue_name>")?;
    Ok(())
}
