Understanding Event Grid fundamentals
In the realm of IoT and event-driven architectures (EDAs), understanding the core principles of Event Grid is essential. Event Grid serves as the backbone for managing and orchestrating events within an ecosystem of interconnected devices and services. This section provides a comprehensive overview of Event Grid’s fundamentals, including its architecture, key components, and how it enables seamless communication between IoT devices and cloud services.
Event Grid architecture
Event Grid operates on a publish-subscribe (pub-sub) model, allowing for the decoupling of event producers and consumers. This architecture ensures that events generated by IoT devices can be efficiently delivered to interested parties without these devices needing to be aware of who or what is consuming their data. Here are the key components of Event Grid’s architecture:
- Event publishers: These are the sources of events, which can be IoT devices...
