Azure Stream Analytics is a high-speed data stream event processing solution available as a cloud service and as on-premises software for building and running data pipelines. It provides real-time data stream analysis and event handling, such as processing Web clickstreams, security information and event management (SIEM), and IoT sensors, using a SQL-based query language and JavaScript functions and aggregates. The service is less flexible than many alternatives and limits data inputs and outputs to select Azure services and data formats.

Product: Stream Analytics

Near and Long Term

Stream Analytics is a mature offering, and the addition of new features and integrations has slowed. 

Most recently, it was updated to support Apache Kafka as an input and output source, making it easier to integrate with existing data pipelines using the popular open source platform. Support for Delta Lake was also added, giving devlopers the ability to convert existing workloads to be compatible with Fabric.
