Description
The Service Broker feature of SQL Server is transforming the way developers think about processing requests within the database and open new opportunities for scalable applications. This course builds on the basic concepts introduced in the SQL Server: Building Simple Asynchronous Applications course by introducing single-instance multi-database and multi-instance configurations for Service Broker. In this course, SQL Server: Building Multi-instance Asynchronous Applications, you'll learn how to configure security for Service Broker operations across databases as well as the networking and routing configurations for secure communications between multiple instances of SQL Server. Next, you'll explore bidirectional conversations between services to allow for status updates and the appropriate way of ending a conversation between two services. Finally, you'll see how to maintain and troubleshoot Service Broker configurations using the SSBDiagnose tool to validate that all of the required components have been appropriately configured, using the Dynamic Management Views for checking message statuses, and using the events in SQL Trace and Extended Events for troubleshooting Service Broker problems. When you've finished this course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to start implementing multi-database and multi-instance Service Broker configurations.

Course Overview
Hello! My name is Jonathan Kehayias, and welcome to my course, SQL Server: Building Multi-instance Asynchronous Applications. I'm a consultant and trainer with SQL skills, as well as a Microsoft data platform MVP. The Service Broker feature is one of the best-kept secrets in SQL Server. And I find that many companies don't leverage Service Broker because of the lack of information available and the lack of UI support for the feature. This course builds on the SQL Server: Building Simple Asynchronous Application course and expands the configuration from a single database to multiple databases, as well as to multiple instances of SQL Server. In the first few modules, you'll learn about the additional objects involved with Service Broker applications that involve multiple databases in the same instance of SQL Server, as well as how to send Service Broker messages to another instance of SQL Server. Along the way, we'll discuss and demonstrate security best practices so you understand the different security considerations and any risks associated with them. You'll then learn how to support and maintain a Service Broker implementation and, finally, how to troubleshoot any problems that occur. By the end of this course, you'll understand how to build asynchronous solutions on top of Service Broker using multiple databases and multiple instances of SQL Server, the considerations for transport and dialog security, and what to do when something isn't working the way you expect it to. You only need a basic understanding of SQL Server and development to be able to follow the information in this course. I hope you will join me to go deeper with Service Broker in this course, SQL Server: Building Multi-instance Asynchronous Applications here on Pluralsight.
