What will be the servicebus cost for my model?

Question

Hi,

     I am using Service Bus Topic for getting the notification from my worker role... in Client side i am using "subscriptionClient.Receive(TimeSpan.MaxValue)"    so I wont get the timeout exception soon... To make the session alive the keepalive should be sent to the sb right? Then How frequently? and will it be considered as service bus transaction? 

    If possible could you tell me the minimum cost (ie in the case, i wont get any messages in my topic)

Answer 1

You pay for payload messages you actually send/receive, not for keepalive.

Hi Navarajan -- in addition to the technical info Clemens provided, if you haven't already please take a look at the following MSDN topic: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh667438.aspx#BKMK_SBv2FAQ2_1.
