Writing an azure function to consume event hub messages and writing to the azure cache for Redis. Not able to find a solution for following

  1. consuming messages from the event hub continuously (there is binding available but not sure to integrate with azure cache for Redis )
  2. is there any straight trigger for both event hub and azure cache for redis integration

At this moment, there's no input/output binding to Azure Redis Cache (you can monitor this request in here), you'll need to add the nuget packages and add / update / remove keys and values yourself.

Here's the full list of input / output bindings:

As another option, you can use Cosmos DB as your caching service too, more info:

EDIT: I've found a non-official way using Azure Functions Custom Binding. You can give it a try, but as I said, it's not official:
