What is Azure Event Hubs?

Event Hubs is a managed, real-time data ingestion service that’s used to stream millions of events per second from any source to build dynamic data pipelines and respond to business challenges. Users can continue to process data during emergencies using the geo-disaster recovery and geo-replication features. It can be integrated with other Azure services to unlock insights. Existing Apache Kafka clients and applications can be allowed to talk to Event Hubs without any code changes, producing a managed Kafka experience without having to manage clusters.
