Where is Sample data coming from for using Sample data as a streaming source in Fabric eventstream

[Anonymous]

Hi,

We want to mimic how the Sample data as a source in Eventstream under Real time Anlytics in Fabric is pulling the Sample data from (like: Sample db placed in some cloud platform, github, etc.) for it to allow streaming data. 

Basically, we want to understand what is the source for Sample data source in eventstream and how is it able to have streaming data behaviour. We want to replicate this behaviour for implementation of our Realtime analytics use case which needs a source for streaming the data and we want some other sources except Azure IOT hub and Azure Event hub.

Please help with any links on this or any information.

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

May I ask if the Real time Anlytics in Fabric you are referring to is this document?
Real-Time Analytics Tutorial- Introduction - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

These sample datas mentioned therein is Microsoft's built-in sample data. The datasets, such as Bicycles, Yellow Taxi, and Stock Market events, are structured with predefined schemas relevant to their domains. It serves as an out-of-box feature to help users familiarize themselves with event streaming without the need to connect to actual data sources immediately.

Add a sample data source to an eventstream - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn

So we generally have no way of knowing what their real data source is.

However, Microsoft provides a lot of related official documents with detailed steps to teach you how to use Eventstream, please refer to the steps in these official documents to learn.
