Question

A retail analytics team needs to capture a continuous stream of point-of-sale transaction events published to an Azure Event Hub. They want to discover and connect to this streaming source in Microsoft Fabric, then land the raw events into a KQL database (Eventhouse) for low-latency querying, with minimal custom code. Which approach in the Real-Time hub best meets this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Create an eventstream that adds the Azure Event Hub as a source and routes the events to an eventhouse (KQL database) destination

Answer

Create a Dataflow Gen2 that connects to the Event Hub and writes the results to a lakehouse table on a scheduled refresh

Answer

Use a Data pipeline Copy activity to periodically pull messages from the Event Hub into a warehouse staging table

Answer

Create a shortcut in OneLake pointing to the Azure Event Hub namespace and query it directly with the SQL analytics endpoint
