With the introduction of Event Grid, Microsoft Azure now offers an even greater choice of messaging infrastructure options. The expanded messaging service fleet consists of the Service Bus message broker, the Event Hubs streaming platform, and the new Event Grid event distribution service. At first glance, it may appear that Service Bus, Event Hubs, and the Event Grid compete with each other. Looking more closely at the kind of information that is published and how that information is consumed and processed reveals that the services are very complementary. A single application might use all three services in combination, each for different functional aspects, and we expect a lot of Azure solutions to do so.
