Azure documentation states that Storage queue message cannot exceed 64 KB.
see here
A queue message can be up to 64 KB in size

But in article that compares service bus and storage queues, it says that Azure supports large messages by combining queues and blobs – at which point you can enqueue up to 200 GB for a single item.

How is it implemented? I couldn't find any documentation that support it, and i need a message size greater than 64KB.

    @Levi, Eran

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

    The link talks about putting the queue payload in a blob, which is how you get a maximum size, but You cannot increase the message size of Storage queues. I found below articles that leverage different patterns to achieve it.
