# What is Azure Event Hubs? — A big data streaming platform and event ingestion service
9
9
Event Hubs is a modern big data streaming platform and event ingestion service that can seamlessly integrate with other Azure and Microsoft services, such as Stream Analytics, Power BI, and Event Grid, along with outside services like Apache Spark. The service can process millions of events per second with low latency. The data sent to an event hub (Event Hubs instance) can be transformed and stored by using any real-time analytics providers or batching or storage adapters.

## Why use Event Hubs?
12
12
Data is valuable only when there's an easy way to process and get timely insights from data sources. Event Hubs provides a distributed stream processing platform with low latency and seamless integration, with data and analytics services inside and outside Azure to build your complete big data pipeline.

Event Hubs represents the "front door" for an event pipeline, often called an **event ingestor** in solution architectures. An event ingestor is a component or service that sits between event publishers and event consumers to decouple the production of an event stream from the consumption of those events. Event Hubs provides a unified streaming platform with time retention buffer, decoupling event producers from event consumers.

## Fully managed PaaS
19
19
Event Hubs is a fully managed Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) with little configuration or management overhead, so you focus on your business solutions. [Event Hubs for Apache Kafka ecosystems](azure-event-hubs-kafka-overview.md) gives you the PaaS Kafka experience without having to manage, configure, or run your clusters.

## Event Hubs for Apache Kafka
22

[Event Hubs for Apache Kafka ecosystems](azure-event-hubs-kafka-overview.md) furthermore enables [Apache Kafka (1.0 and later)](https://kafka.apache.org/) clients and applications to talk to Event Hubs. You don't need to set up, configure, and manage your own Kafka and Zookeeper clusters or use some Kafka-as-a-Service offering not native to Azure.

## Schema Registry in Azure Event Hubs
25

[Azure Schema Registry](schema-registry-overview.md) in Event Hubs provides a centralized repository for managing schemas of events streaming applications. Azure Schema Registry comes free with every Event Hubs namespace, and it integrates seamlessly with you Kafka applications or Event Hubs SDK based applications.

## Support for real-time and batch processing
30
30
Ingest, buffer, store, and process your stream in real time to get actionable insights. Event Hubs uses a [partitioned consumer model](event-hubs-scalability.md#partitions), enabling multiple applications to process the stream concurrently and letting you control the speed of processing. Azure Event Hubs also integrates with [Azure Functions](../azure-functions/index.yml) for a serverless architecture.

## Capture event data
33
-
[Capture](event-hubs-capture-overview.md) your data in near-real time in an [Azure Blob storage](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/storage/blobs/) or [Azure Data Lake Storage](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/data-lake-store/) for long-term retention or micro-batch processing. You can achieve this behavior on the same stream you use for deriving real-time analytics. Setting up capture of event data is fast. There are no administrative costs to run it, and it scales automatically with Event Hubs [throughput units](event-hubs-scalability.md#throughput-units) or [processing units](event-hubs-scalability.md#processing-units). Event Hubs enables you to focus on data processing rather than on data capture.

## Scalable
36
-
With Event Hubs, you can start with data streams in megabytes, and grow to gigabytes or terabytes. The [Auto-inflate](event-hubs-auto-inflate.md) feature is one of the many options available to scale the number of throughput units or processing units to meet your usage needs.

## Rich ecosystem
39
39
With a broad ecosystem available for the industry-standard AMQP 1.0 protocol and SDKs available in various languages: [.NET](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/), [Java](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/), [Python](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/), [JavaScript](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js/), you can easily start processing your streams from Event Hubs. All supported client languages provide low-level integration. The ecosystem also provides you with seamless integration with Azure services like Azure Stream Analytics and Azure Functions and thus enables you to build serverless architectures.
