How Azure Event Hubs handles event ingestion

Azure Event Hubs is a powerful platform for streaming big data and capturing events. It can handle and work with millions of events every second, making it the perfect solution for any application with telemetry, distributed data streaming, or real-time analytics. It enables multiple event producers to publish data to a central hub. Applications, or event consumers, can then retrieve this data in real time or later. Event ingestion in Azure Event Hubs is primarily based on two key components – event producers and event consumers. Event producers are entities that send data to Event Hubs. They can be any entity that produces data, such as a telemetry system on a vehicle, a website tracking page views, or a server monitoring system sending logs. Let’s walk through an example together.

At the beginning of the ingestion process, event producers are responsible for creating and sending the events to the Event Hub. Event producers...
