I felt it was time to retire the Azure Storage Emulator in favor of its successor: Azurite. It provides a local environment for testing applications that use Azure blob and/or queues. Why use Azurite over Azure Storage Emulator?Įver since I started playing with Azure back in 2008, I’ve been using the Azure Storage Emulator to have a local storage emulator to develop with. We can use Azurite in Docker to keep Azure Storage data local to a solution, and, for example, have different blobs and queues for different Azure Functions projects.

In this blog post, we’ll see how we can use Azurite, an open source Azure Storage API compatible server (emulator), in Docker, and how to run it from JetBrains Rider.
