Develop Event-Based Solutions

When I first started learning about Azure, one thing that was more confusing than most things was the purpose and reasoning for both an Event Grid and an Event Hub. In fact, I was unsure what either service was, when to use which service, and even if they were dependent on one another (such as questions as to whether all event hubs must have an event grid, or vice versa). Perhaps you are in a similar position related to these services as you are studying for your AZ-204 Exam. I hope this chapter will eliminate any questions about what these services are for, how they work, and when to use each one. In any event, this chapter presents two major technologies for event-based solutions in Azure—Azure Event Hubs and Azure Event Grid.
