Which Fabric Real-Time Intelligence component should you use to ingest and transform a stream of real-time data?

• A. Eventhouse
• B. Eventstream
• C. Activator
• D. Stream Studio

Answer: (B)

In real-time data scenarios, you need a component that can receive streams as they arrive, apply transformations on the fly, and route the results to downstream analytics or storage. Eventstream provides the streaming ingestion surface in Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, with connectors to real-time sources and built-in capabilities to perform on-the-fly transformations and routing. It handles the end-to-end flow of real-time data from source to transformed output, making it the appropriate choice for ingesting and transforming a stream. The other options play different roles: Eventhouse is more of a centralized event store, Activator focuses on automation and orchestration, and Stream Studio is a UI for designing and managing streaming pipelines rather than the core ingestion/transformation engine.
