Case Study: Scorechain scales blockchain analytics and reduces Bitcoin risk with Microsoft Azure

Blockchain technology firm uses advanced analytics to maximize benefits and minimize Bitcoin risks

Scorechain, a France-based blockchain technology firm, needed immense computing power to perform deep analysis on Bitcoin transactions in order to identify opportunities and risks for its clients. The company required a highly scalable infrastructure to manage its growing databases and complex computations, a challenge they addressed by using Microsoft Azure.

Microsoft Azure provided the necessary big-data storage and scalable compute power, primarily through Azure HDInsight, to run open-source analytics tools like Apache Spark. This solution allowed Scorechain to efficiently rebuild its multi-terabyte database weekly, launch dozens of instances simultaneously with low latency, and keep hosting costs manageable. As a result, Scorechain can now offer its clients detailed risk analysis and confidently scale its services alongside the growing blockchain ecosystem.
