Developing Event-Based Solutions with Event Grid and Event Hubs

Modern applications require immediate responsiveness to scale effectively under heavy workloads. Transitioning from traditional polling to event-driven architectures is key to building highly decoupled, resilient, and responsive cloud systems. This text-based course guides you through the foundational concepts of event-based design, showing you how to ingest and route massive streams of data efficiently. You will start by mastering core terminology, distinguishing between events and messages, and understanding how cloud routing services differ from traditional message brokers. Through structured explanations and clear architectural patterns, you will learn to configure ingestion pipelines and route system events to diverse consumers. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of event-driven architectures and how they differ from message-based systems - Configure Event Grid to route system-level and custom application events to multiple endpoints - Set up Event Hubs to ingest large-scale, real-time data streams from distributed sources - Implement security best practices, including managed identities and role-based access control - Monitor and troubleshoot event delivery, handling dead-lettering and retry policies This course begins with essential architectural definitions and basic setups before progressing to end-to-end integration scenarios. You will read detailed explanations, explore configuration patterns, and analyze practical code snippets to build confidence in your integration skills. This course is designed for software developers, cloud architects, and system administrators who are new to event-driven design. No prior experience with event routing or streaming technologies is required, though a basic understanding of cloud computing concepts is helpful.
