Event Hubs is a modernbig_data streaming platform and event ingestion service that can seamlessly integrate with other Azure and Microsoft services, such as Stream Analytics, Power BI, and Event Grid, along with outside services like Apache Spark. The service can process millions of events per second with low latency. The data sent to an event hub (Event Hubs instance) can be transformed and stored by using any real-time analytics providers or batching or storage adapters.
Azure event hub vs kafka
While Apache Kafka is software you typically need to install and operate, Event Hubs is a fully managed, cloud-native service. There are no servers, disks, or networks to manage and monitor and no brokers to consider or configure, ever. You create a namespace, which is an endpoint with a fully qualified domain name, and then you create Event Hubs (topics) within that namespace.
