Is it possible to connect NodeMCU with Microsoft Azure Event Hub?

Question

Is it possible to send data from ESP8266 Nodemcu to Microsoft Azure using 'Event Hub'. while searching on the internet i am getting results were they are using Azure Iot Hub. Since my application does not require bi directional communication and also azure iot hub service is very expensive than azure event hub service i would prefer if it is possible to use Azure event hub with esp8266 Nodemcu . can anybody direct me in the right direction.

Answer 1

You will want to use the Event Hubs REST API for that.
