Routing, load balancing, and error handling

Azure Event Hubs provides a real-time event streaming platform that can reliably handle millions of events per second. It’s an essential tool in the Azure ecosystem to build data-driven applications and analytics pipelines. While we have covered the basics of using Azure Event Hubs in the previous sections, this section will delve into some advanced topics – routing events to different partitions, balancing the load among multiple consumers, and handling failures. We will also provide .NET code examples for developers.

Routing events to different partitions

Partitions are a fundamental concept in Event Hubs. They are essentially independent streams within an Event Hub and help to provide concurrent processing of events. By default, when events are sent to an Event Hub, they are distributed to different partitions in a round-robin manner, providing equal load among all partitions. However, there are scenarios where you...
