In this post we are going to analyze various strategies to increase the throughput in a sample EventHub consumer application. We will try out various scenarios, starting with a baseline to compare results against. During the tests, the Prometheus metric scrape interval is set to 10 seconds. Also, the Grafana dashboards display the latest 15 minutes for each individual task with 10 seconds refresh interval. Each test scenario based on the customization made to the single partition event hub consumer code snippet. In order to see the effects of our improvements, we dedicated event hub sender to send events only to single partition. So, we can say there is no event hub partition parallelism during our tests. In addition to these, we have used Event Processor Host which is an agent for .NET consumers that manages partition access and per partition offset for consumers.
