Now that you've set up messaging for the Spring Petclinic application, the next thing you'll do is configure Azure Event Hubs to receive events.

Event Hubs is a fully managed, real-time data ingestion service that’s simple, trusted, and scalable. Stream millions of events per second from any source to build dynamic data pipelines and immediately respond to business challenges. Keep processing data during emergencies using the geo-disaster recovery and geo-replication features.
