Azure Event Hubs vs. Apache Kafka

Azure Event Hubs is a scalable data streaming platform and event ingestion service, capable of receiving and processing millions of events per second. Event Hubs processes and stores events, data, or telemetry produced by distributed software and devices.

Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform developed by the Apache Software Foundation. It is designed to handle real-time data feeds with high throughput and low latency, making it ideal for building data pipelines, streaming analytics, and integrating data across various systems. Kafka enables organizations to publish, store, and process streams of records in a fault-tolerant and scalable manner, supporting mission-critical applications across diverse industries.
