High-Scale Serverless Event Processing with Event Grid

In this section, you will learn about an Azure service that allows you to implement high-scale event processing. Azure Event Grid allows you to manage and route a great number of events from different sources to several destinations by simply defining and designing routing rules.

Event Grid is an Azure service that allows you to manage events coming from different sources (generally, other services in Azure) and route them through other Azure services. In this chapter, you will learn what events are in Azure and how Event Grid manages them.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding Event Grid and filtering your events
  • Creating an Event Grid subscription
  • Understanding how Event Grid manages event delivery and retries
