In Azure, we have two separate messaging technologies and it's not very well documented when to use what? While EventGrid is really cool, I did not come across when to use EventGrid(scenarios) vs the Storage/ServiceBus queue? Can someone help?
E.g. if I have the following scenario :
A status of a flag changes and based on that, I want to trigger an algorithm that would do recalculations, few inserts/updates etc. in the database.
For implementing this - I can either use EventGrid or Storage Queue. How do we figure what to use in such scenario? I was looking for some kind of guidance.
Basically, Azure Event Grid handles events and Azure ServiceBus handles messages.A message is raw data produced by a service to be consumed or stored. Events are also messages (lightweigth), but they don’t generally convey a publisher intent, other than to inform.
1) If the purpose is to just to store the information ServiceBus can be used.
2) If the information received is used to trigger another service Azure Event Grid can be used.
