- When we created our Event Hub namespace, we set the throughput units to one. If we click on it, then we get the option to change. Now, let's go ahead and see what throughput units mean for our Event Hub namespace. The throughput capacity of Event Hubs is controlled by throughput units. They are prepurchased units of capacity. So, when we choose how many we want we are paying for them constantly. The number of throughput units will directly determine how many events our name space can handle. For a single throughput unit, we have limitations for ingress and egress events. Ingress events are the events that are coming in in our application. We can send up to one megabyte per second or 1000 events per second whichever comes first. So, if we reach the one megabyte limit first then, we are throttled. Or if we send more than 1000 events, without reaching one megabyte, we are still throttled. And for egress…
