A message larger than 256 KB must be transferred. What is the standard approach on Standard tier?

  1. A Split the message manually
  2. B Use the claim-check pattern: store the payload in Blob Storage and send a reference (correct answer)
  3. C Compress it to fit
  4. D Enable partitioning

Shortcut: Standard tier caps messages at 256 KB. The claim-check pattern keeps the broker message small by carrying only a pointer to the payload in blob storage.
