PollyAzureEventHub 1.0.1

PollyAzureEventHub

Polly v8 resilience for Azure.Messaging.EventHubs — add retry, timeout, and circuit-breaker to any Event Hubs producer operation in two lines.

var producer = new EventHubProducerClient(connectionString, "my-hub");

var resilient = producer.WithPolly(pipeline => pipeline
    .AddRetry(new RetryStrategyOptions
    {
        MaxRetryAttempts = 3,
        Delay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2),
        BackoffType = DelayBackoffType.Exponential,
        UseJitter = true,
        ShouldHandle = EventHubsTransientErrors.IsTransient,
    })
    .AddTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)));

using var batch = await resilient.CreateBatchAsync();
batch.TryAdd(new EventData("hello"));
await resilient.SendAsync(batch);

Why PollyAzureEventHub?

Azure Event Hubs is a mission-critical ingestion pipeline — dropped events mean lost data. EventHubsException.IsTransient tells you exactly which errors are safe to retry; this library wires that directly into Polly v8:

Installation

dotnet add package PollyAzureEventHub
dotnet add package Polly.Core

Quick-start

1. Manual wiring

using Azure.Messaging.EventHubs;
using Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Producer;
using Polly;
using Polly.Retry;

var producer = new EventHubProducerClient(connectionString, "telemetry");

var resilient = producer.WithPolly(p => p
    .AddRetry(new RetryStrategyOptions
    {
        MaxRetryAttempts = 3,
        Delay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2),
        BackoffType = DelayBackoffType.Exponential,
        UseJitter = true,
        ShouldHandle = EventHubsTransientErrors.IsTransient,
    }));

// Send a batch
using var batch = await resilient.CreateBatchAsync();
foreach (var reading in sensorReadings)
    batch.TryAdd(new EventData(JsonSerializer.SerializeToUtf8Bytes(reading)));

await resilient.SendAsync(batch);

2. Dependency injection

// Program.cs / Startup.cs
builder.Services.AddPollyAzureEventHub(
    connectionString,
    "telemetry",
    pipeline => pipeline
        .AddRetry(new RetryStrategyOptions
        {
            MaxRetryAttempts = 3,
            Delay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2),
            BackoffType = DelayBackoffType.Exponential,
            UseJitter = true,
            ShouldHandle = EventHubsTransientErrors.IsTransient,
        })
        .AddTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30)));

// Inject ResilientEventHubProducerClient into your services
public class TelemetryIngester(ResilientEventHubProducerClient producer)
{
    public async Task SendAsync(IEnumerable<Reading> readings, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        using var batch = await producer.CreateBatchAsync(ct);
        foreach (var r in readings)
            batch.TryAdd(new EventData(JsonSerializer.SerializeToUtf8Bytes(r)));
        await producer.SendAsync(batch, ct);
    }
}

3. Bring your own client (DI overload)

builder.Services.AddSingleton(new EventHubProducerClient(
    fullyQualifiedNamespace,
    "telemetry",
    new DefaultAzureCredential()));

builder.Services.AddPollyAzureEventHub(pipeline => pipeline
    .AddRetry(new RetryStrategyOptions
    {
        MaxRetryAttempts = 5,
        ShouldHandle = EventHubsTransientErrors.IsTransient,
    }));

Transient error reference

// Use in any Polly strategy:
ShouldHandle = EventHubsTransientErrors.IsTransient

Key differentiator: EventHubsException.IsTransient is set by the Azure SDK team — this library exposes it directly as a Polly predicate, so your retry logic is always in sync with the SDK's own classification.

Advanced pipelines

Full production pipeline with observability

producer.WithPolly(p => p
    .AddTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60))
    .AddRetry(new RetryStrategyOptions
    {
        MaxRetryAttempts = 5,
        Delay = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1),
        BackoffType = DelayBackoffType.Exponential,
        UseJitter = true,
        ShouldHandle = EventHubsTransientErrors.IsTransient,
        OnRetry = args =>
        {
            logger.LogWarning("Event Hubs retry {Attempt} after {Delay}ms — {Exception}",
                args.AttemptNumber, args.RetryDelay.TotalMilliseconds, args.Outcome.Exception?.Message);
            return ValueTask.CompletedTask;
        },
    })
    .AddCircuitBreaker(new CircuitBreakerStrategyOptions
    {
        FailureRatio = 0.5,
        SamplingDuration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30),
        MinimumThroughput = 10,
        BreakDuration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30),
        ShouldHandle = EventHubsTransientErrors.IsTransient,
    }));

Sending with partition key

var options = new SendEventOptions { PartitionKey = deviceId };
await resilient.SendAsync(events, options, cancellationToken);

Arbitrary operations via ExecuteAsync

var partitionProps = await resilient.ExecuteAsync(
    (c, ct) => c.GetPartitionPropertiesAsync("0", ct));
