Case Study: Direct.One boosts transaction processing and cuts costs with Microsoft Azure Functions

Customer communications firm uses serverless computing to smash transaction processing limits

Microsoft helped Direct.One, a Brazilian customer communications firm, to overcome the challenge of processing bursty, high-volume workloads without the prohibitive cost of maintaining dedicated virtual machines that would sit idle. The company needed a more scalable and cost-effective infrastructure to handle its transaction processing.

Using Microsoft Azure Functions for a serverless computing solution, Direct.One dramatically increased its processing capacity while slashing costs. The results included generating five times more transactions for less than a quarter of the previous cost and developing new features 40 percent faster. Microsoft's technology provided a significant competitive advantage by enabling immense, automated scalability.
