Mastering Azure Event Grid | Topics, Subscriptions, Publishers & Handlers Explained (Live Demo)

Mastering Azure Event Grid | Topics, Subscriptions, Publishers & Handlers Explained

In this video, we take a deep dive into Azure Event Grid, starting with a clear and concise explanation of how event-driven architecture works within Azure.

You’ll learn the core concepts of:
• Event Topics – the central hub where events are published
• Event Subscriptions – how events are routed and filtered
• Event Publishers – the sources that generate events
• Event Handlers – the services that react to those events

We’ll begin by exploring Azure’s built-in capabilities, using an Azure Storage Account as a native publisher. Then, we’ll walk through a real-world example using a custom topic, demonstrating how to build a solution with:

• A single custom event publisher

• Multiple independent event handlers (e.g., Azure Queue, Logic Apps)

This is a follow-along tutorial where you'll not only build a fully working solution but also come away with a solid understanding of how Event Grid works, when to use it, and how to structure your own event-driven systems in Azure.

🔧 Technologies Used: Azure Portal, Logic Apps, Storage Accounts, Event Grid,
✅ Outcome: A complete, working Event Grid implementation with multiple handlers
📘 Ideal For: Developers, Architects, DevOps Engineers, and anyone new to event-driven Azure solutions
