Event streaming

Events are written to a common log. One of the key characteristics of event streaming is that they are strictly ordered (within a partition) and durable. One key difference between Azure Service Bus and events is that the clients don't subscribe to the stream. The client has the flexibility to read from any part of the stream and this opens multiple possibilities.

One major advantage is that a client can read from any part of the stream and the client is solely responsible for advancing their position in the stream. This enables the client to join at any given time and to replay events.
