- Azure Event Hubs Integration (this article)
Azure Event Hubs is a horizontally scalable event ingestion service capable of receiving and processing millions of events per second. It supports Apache Kafka Producer and Consumer API that you can use as an alternative to running a self-managed Apache Kafka cluster. Now you can integrate the Kafka ecosystem applications such as Kafdrop and many others with Event Hubs. Please visit the Microsoft documentation website to read about using Azure Event Hub as the messaging backplane for an Apache Kafka application in detail.
We will now extend the TimeOff application to use Kafka running in Docker in local and CI/CD environments and use Event Hubs in other environments. By building the new features of the application, you will also understand the process of migrating your application that uses self-hosted or managed Kafka cluster to Event Hubs.
