This diagram provides a visual representation of how Azure Event Hubs function. It highlights the key components involved in ingesting, storing, and processing high volumes of streaming data.
Key elements typically include:
- Producers: Applications or services that generate and send event data.
- Event Hub: The central ingestion service that receives and stores streams of events.
- Partitions: Event Hubs are divided into partitions, which enable parallel processing and scalability.
- Consumer Groups: Groups of applications or services that read event data from an Event Hub, typically processing events in parallel.
- Consumers: Individual applications or services within a consumer group that read and process specific partitions.
Understanding these concepts is crucial for effectively utilizing Azure Event Hubs for real-time data streaming and analytics.
