天蓝色存储事件可以用于网络农场吗

Question

I want to know if anyone has used event grid subscription (on blob storage) in a web farm setting.

I have created an event grid subscription on blob storage with a hybrid connection.

If you have several (listener) applications, can you configure an event grid subscription that can "hit" each application?

Answer 1

The Azure Event Grid is a Pub/Sub model for pushing (distributing) the events to the subscribers based on their subscription such as a logical connectivity metadata. In other words, there is no listener on this Pub/Sub model.

In your scenario, the event from the event driven blob storage is pushed to the Azure Relay service with a Hybrid Connections. Note, that the Hybrid Connections uses Websockets on port 443 with SSL (https). More details about the Azure Relay Hybrid Connections protocol can be found here .

Based on this protocol, your receivers on the same Azure Relay Hybrid Connections will balanced , in other words, the Azure Relay Hybrid Connections didn't support the UDP port.

The solution for your scenario (the event message broadcasting) is using an EventGridTrigger function with a SignalR Service output binding as a subscriber for your event driven blob storage.

Update:

The following screen snippet shows broadcasting an event from the blob storage to the web farm servers based on the AEG and SignalR Service integrated with an EventGridTrigger function:

Using a SignalRService extension for function is very straightforward, see the following example:

    #r "Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.SignalRService"

    using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.SignalRService;

    public static async Task Run(string eventGridEvent, IAsyncCollector<SignalRMessage> signalRMessages, ILogger log)
    {
        log.LogInformation(eventGridEvent);

        await signalRMessages.AddAsync(
            new SignalRMessage
            {
                Target = "Broadcasting",
                Arguments = new[] {eventGridEvent }
            });  
    }

and the function.json:

    {
        "bindings": [
         {
          "type": "eventGridTrigger",
          "name": "eventGridEvent",
          "direction": "in"
         },
         {
            "type": "signalR",
            "name": "signalRMessages",
            "hubName": "mySignalRHubName",
            "connectionStringSetting": "AzureSignalRConnectionString",
            "direction": "out"
         }
         ],
        "disabled": false
    }

Another option if you aren't married to using Azure Tables, is using Cosmos DB with Azure Functions and SignalR. I've done something like this for another project, very scalable and near real time.
