We have an HangFire service running on my windows server and it reads a message from Azure Storage queue and process it.
Now i need to scale this further.
I checked HangFire documentation and it supports multiple instances to be run at same time:
https://discuss.hangfire.io/t/running-multiple-instances-of-hangfire-using-same-sql-database/3522

This also means multiple consumers would be reading Azure Storage Queue. Azure Queue support multiple consumbers? Do i need to configure them on Azure portal -> Azure queue settings? What additional settings are required on Azure portal -> Azure queue for multiple consumers

Azure Queue Storage

    anonymous user Azure Queue Storage can have an unlimited number of clients connected. You can refer to the Capacity and quotas section. There is no additional settings that need to be changed to allow for multiple clients.

    Hope this helps. Let us know if you have further questions or issues.
