Currently, Eventstream in Microsoft Fabric cannot consume GZIP-compressed messages coming from Azure Event Hub.
This is a blocker for many real-world streaming scenarios, since compression (especially GZIP) is a common and cost-efficient way to transfer large volumes of event data. Without native decompression support, users need to introduce extra processing layers (e.g., Azure Stream Analytics or custom decompression services), which increases latency, cost, and operational complexity.
Feature request:
Please add native support for GZIP-compressed EventHub messages in Eventstream, so that Eventstream can automatically decompress incoming events before applying transformations or routing to downstream targets.
This would greatly simplify architectures and make Eventstream a more practical choice for high-volume streaming ingestion pipelines.
