This is an Azure component - I am not a representative of the vendor.

@atoulme I'm looking at using the Azure Event Hub receiver but the stability says in development. Is it safe to use fully and should it be considered have an alpha stability level?

[atoulme]

It should be considered alpha now. I'll open a PR to update.
