Event-Driven on Azure: Part 1 – Why you should consider an event-driven architecture

This looks great on paper until you actually try to integrate event grid into a property secured vnet integrated environment. Event Grid does not, will not and cannot deliver messages to a vnet-integrated function trigger. The internal design precludes this because it is bafflingly designed around a true "push" model, which prevents event grid from traversing a vnet boundary. It was extremely disappointing to discover this. We, the consumers (devs) of Azure, don't care about the internal design decisions - we only care about the higher level semantics, and the choices made for Event Grid shot itself in the foot.
