Batch Insert of queue messages

Hi there,

It would be great if I could do batch insert (add) of messages. Often times I need to add several hundred or thousands or messages to a queue, and today I have to add them one by one. This is also related to the small size limitation of each message.

    Yes. recently i had a requirement to have a bulk insert api to develop a new feature for the system.
    Rather than inserting one by one , at least there should be a bulk insert api with constraint like maximum allowed message count / maximum allowed batch size.

    Can't press the vote button this this hard enough. Our testing has shown average response time for a single insert to be 7ms. Assuming much of that time is in network latency the performance benefits of a bulk API are potentially massive for jobs which generate millions of queue items. This is typically a day one feature so I'm really surprised to not see it here.

    I fully agree with this. We have a similar need to post thousands of messages at a time. Even if we could batch 100 like you can with storage table writes it would be a huge improvement.
