Q21 Event Grid Domain 3 · 20–25% of exam Priority · Real Exam Choose 2

Which TWO are true of Event Grid delivery?

  1. A Delivery is at-least-once, so handlers must be idempotent (correct answer)
  2. B Undeliverable events can be preserved by configuring a dead-letter container (correct answer)
  3. C Events are delivered in publication order
  4. D Exactly-once delivery is guaranteed
  5. E Retries continue indefinitely until the handler succeeds

Shortcut: Retries can produce duplicates, so handlers should deduplicate on the event id. Dead-lettering to storage preserves events that exhaust retries. Event Grid makes no ordering promise, and retries are bounded by the event time-to-live, after which the event is dropped unless dead-lettered.
