Can Azure Event Hub process messages on a multithread mode?

Question

I've used this code suggested by Microsoft and I would expect to be creating Tasks in parallel but it seems to be processing in line
is there a way I could process multiple messages in parallel and control the amount of parallel instances/threads?

Hello @Joe White ,

Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

The key to scale for Event Hubs is the idea of partitioned consumers. In contrast to the competing consumers pattern, the partitioned consumer pattern enables high scale by removing the contention bottleneck and facilitating end to end parallelism.

For more details, refer to the below articles:

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries.
