Case Study: BitDam manages high-volume Microsoft 365 API calls with Lunar.dev

How Lunar.dev Helped BitDam Manage 100K of Weekly API Calls

BitDam, a cyber threat detection company, faced major challenges managing hundreds of millions of weekly API calls to Microsoft 365. These calls were essential for scanning emails to block attacks, but the high volume resulted in constant throttling errors (429), rate limit penalties, and required significant developer effort to handle complexities like token management, creating a risk to their real-time business model.

The solution was implemented with Lunar.dev. Their out-of-the-box API management platform handled throttling, token lifecycle, and multi-tenancy, eliminating the need for BitDam to build custom middleware. This saved the engineering team considerable time and resources, allowing them to focus on their core competency. The vendor, Lunar.dev, provided the industry best practices needed to efficiently manage the immense scale of API calls without the associated errors and penalties.
