Frequently Asked Questions
What are Throughput Units in Azure Event Hubs?
Throughput Units (TUs) are a unit of provisioned capacity in Azure Event Hubs. They determine the maximum ingress and egress rates for events, allowing you to scale your data streaming capabilities.
How do I determine the right number of Throughput Units?
The number of TUs needed depends on your expected event volume, message size, and desired latency. Monitoring your current usage and projecting future needs is key to selecting the appropriate capacity.
Can I change the number of Throughput Units after deployment?
Yes, you can adjust the number of Throughput Units up or down at any time through the Azure portal or using Azure Resource Manager templates, providing flexibility to adapt to changing requirements.
