Reactive Architecture with Event Grid

Azure Event Grid is another cloud component that represents serverless services in Azure. It can be considered an events gateway, able to both make our solution work faster and to reverse control, so our services don't have to wait for others, burning available resources just to be idle. It's also a great routing tool, able to quickly distribute load and multiply it, allowing jobs to be finished faster.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Azure Event Grid and reactive architecture
  • Connecting to other services through Azure Event Grid
  • Security features of Azure Event Grid
  • Publishing custom events to Azure Event Grid
  • Integrating Azure Functions with Azure Event Grid
