AI-200 Event Driven Integration Practice Question
You are designing an AI application that needs to route real-time telemetry events from thousands of IoT devices to multiple downstream serverless functions simultaneously. Which Azure service should you use as the event broker?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Azure Event Grid
Azure Event Grid is designed for reactive programming and reliable event routing at scale, making it ideal for routing telemetry metadata or state changes to serverless functions.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Azure Service Bus Queues
Why it's wrong here
Service Bus Queues use a competing consumer model, which is better suited for transactional enterprise messaging rather than broadcasting events to multiple independent subscribers.
- ✗
Azure Event Hubs
Why it's wrong here
Event Hubs is optimized for big data streaming and telemetry ingestion, not discrete event routing for serverless architectures.
- ✓
Azure Event Grid
Why this is correct
Event Grid natively supports a pub/sub model for routing events to multiple endpoints like Azure Functions.
- ✗
Azure Blob Storage
Why it's wrong here
Blob storage is a persistence layer, not an event routing broker.
