 Integrate data from your MQTT clients by routing MQTT messages to Azure services and custom endpoints through [push delivery](overview.md#push-delivery) or [pull delivery](overview.md#pull-delivery). For example, use Event Grid to route telemetry from your IoT devices to Event Hubs and then to Azure Stream Analytics to gain insights from your device telemetry.
 
 ## Push delivery use cases
-Event Grid’s push delivery allows you to realize the following use cases.

-Use Event Grid to build serverless solutions with Azure Functions Apps, Logic Apps, and API Management. Using serverless services with Event Grid affords you a level of productivity, effort economy, and integration superior to that of classical computing models where you have to procure, manage, secure, and maintain all infrastructure deployed.

-Event Grid can receive events from 20+ Azure services so that you can automate your operations. For example, you can configure Event Grid to receive an event when a new blob has been created on an Azure Storage Account so that your downstream application can read and process its content. For a list of all supported Azure services and events, see [System topics](system-topics.md).

 Your own service or application publishes events to Event Grid that subscriber applications process. Event Grid features [Namespace Topics](concepts-event-grid-namespaces.md#namespace-topics) to address integration and routing requirements at scale with a simple resource model. You can also use [Custom Topics](custom-topics.md) to meet basic integration requirements and [Domains](event-domains.md) for a simple management and routing model when you need to distribute events to hundreds or thousands of different groups.
 
 ### Receive events from partner (SaaS providers)

 A multitenant SaaS provider or platform can publish their events to Event Grid through a feature called [Partner Events](partner-events-overview.md). You can [subscribe to those events](subscribe-to-partner-events.md) and automate tasks, for example. Events from the following partners are currently available:

-One or more clients can connect to Azure Event Grid to read messages at their own pace. Event Grid affords clients full control on events consumption. Your application can receive events at certain times of the day, for example. Your solution can also increase the rate of consumption by adding more clients that read from Event Grid.
