Is it possible receive messages in subscriptions synchronously in Azure service bus

Question

I have 2 subscriptions to a Azure service bus topic. Both subscriptions receive messages in parallel and I have 2 Service Bus input triggered azure functions to process the messages.

Azure service bus Topic

--Subscription 1 -> Azure function 1

--Subscription 2 -> Azure function 2

But I have a scenario where, it would be better if my Azure function 2 picks up the messages after Azure function 1 has finished processing the message. One solution is to send the messages from Azure function 1 to a new topic and let Azure function 2 receive from the new topic. Other than this, is there any other better solution to handle this ?

Answer 1

What you mentioned is the easiest solution but you can also look into Durable functions. You will have to do more work but its meant for chaining functions which I think is your requirement.
