Hands-On Azure for Developers

Azure Event Grid and reactive architecture

When working with multiple services in the cloud, you often need to have a centralized service responsible for routing events to a different endpoint. This makes the exchange of data a piece of cake—you do not have to maintain different URLs of APIs, as you can leverage a common event schema and custom routing configuration based on, for example, event type. In Azure, such a service is called Azure Event Grid—a serverless event gateway, which is one of the newer cloud components available. With a pay-as-you-go pricing model, you can quickly build a reactive architecture that inverts communication between your services and makes them passive. In this chapter, you will learn how to work with Event ...
