AZURE Event Hub processing multiple protocols to same Topic

Upon reading on AZURE Event Hub,

  • I note that we can send data via
    • http(s)
    • AMQP
    • KAFKA

As I am not an integration (messaging) expert, the following then:

  • Can I use both AMQP and http(s) to write to the same Event Hub Topic
  • and subsequently can a single AZURE Function read from that same single Event Hub Topic regardless of how written to?
  • For KAFKA, this will need to be always a separate Event Hub (Topic) is my understanding.
Solution

  • The AZURE EVENT HUB KAFKA look-like API means that, if you, say, all send a JSON format using all 3 protocols, they can be mapped to the same Event Hub (= Topic), and one can read the Event Hub in KAFKA mode, say.

    This is a good read https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-exchange-events-different-protocols but I checked with a more experienced person to confirm.
