Reliable event delivery at massive scale
Event Grid is a fully managed event routing service that provides reliable message delivery at massive scale. Developers use Event Grid to build reactive, event-driven apps in a modern, serverless compute architecture—eliminating polling and its associated cost and latency. One-to-many mapping, in which a single event can trigger multiple actions, provides a uniform event consumption experience. A pay-per-operation model complements and extends your serverless solutions and lets you focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.

Event Grid pricing example 2
Incoming logs to Event Hubs are being sent to storage through Event Hubs Capture. Five million log batch events are pushed by Event Grid to Logic Apps for monitoring. All events are also pushed to one of several customised-monitoring endpoints based on the event type, and in some cases the origin of the event. One million of these events require advanced matching. One of the endpoints experiences outages and retries are necessary to successfully deliver the events.
