Connect to the messaging channel through an adapter, client or connector.
Messaging Endpoints
Event-Driven Consumer
Register a handler that the messaging infrastructure invokes whenever a message arrives, enabling low-latency processing without explicit polling loops.

How Event-Driven Consumer works
A dedicated endpoint hides transport details from the application that sends or receives messages.
Channel
Event-Driven Consumer
Application
Apply Event-Driven Consumer to encapsulate delivery, consumption and transport concerns.
Expose a simpler application-facing contract and operational boundary.
What this pattern helps you decide
Register a handler that the messaging infrastructure invokes whenever a message arrives, enabling low-latency processing without explicit polling loops.
What happens when processing fails or the same message is delivered twice?
Where does state, correlation or routing configuration live?
How will operators trace the message and understand the decision path?
Where you may see it
- Service Bus trigger
- Event Grid trigger
- Azure Function event trigger
How the analyzers can surface it
- Receive endpoints and triggers
- Concurrency configuration
Pattern detection is contextual. GateSift should present these as architectural signals, not claim a pattern is implemented solely because one policy statement or adapter exists.
