Case Study: eToro Accelerates Azure Adoption and Boosts Database Performance with Silk

eToro Shortens Azure Adoption by 50% with Silk

eToro, the global multi-asset investment platform, needed to fast-track its move to Microsoft Azure without sacrificing the high performance its SQL Server databases required. As its customer base grew, eToro wanted to reduce on-prem footprint and improve global scalability, but refactoring workloads for a full PaaS migration was too risky and time-consuming, while a standard IaaS approach could not meet its low-latency needs. Silk’s platform was brought in to support the migration.

Silk enabled eToro to lift and shift complex database workloads into Azure while maintaining sub-millisecond latency and strong resilience. With Silk, eToro cut Azure adoption time by 50% and achieved hundreds of thousands of database transactions per second under heavy, unpredictable load. Silk also helped eToro preserve the performance its customers expected while scaling cloud infrastructure efficiently.
