You can prototype it. Owning it is another thing.

Tenant-scale throttling

Microsoft Graph throttles hard once you move past a single test mailbox. Production means owning back-off, retry, pacing and re-tuning it as limits shift.

Elastic compute

Collecting thousands of mailboxes and drives needs queues, workers and autoscaling — plus the discipline to scale to zero so you are not billed for idle capacity.

Isolation & keys

Multi-tenant isolation, per-tenant credentials and instant revocation are table stakes for enterprise buyers — and a security surface you would own end to end.

Restore

Graph has no bulk-restore primitive. Putting items, folders, mailboxes or whole sites back is a second project most teams discover only after shipping collection.

Monitoring & reporting

Live job status, per-custodian drill-downs, error handling and retained end-of-run reports are what turn a script into an operable service.

Perpetual maintenance

Graph APIs, auth requirements and throttling rules keep moving. A DIY integration is never “done” — someone owns that drift forever.

Time to first production collection

Build it on Graph

A prototype in a day; a hardened, monitored pipeline is a multi-quarter effort.

Time to first production collection

DataTapStream included

A dedicated tenant and API key in minutes — start collecting the same day.

Microsoft 365 throttling at scale

Build it on Graph

Graph throttles aggressively per-app and per-tenant. You own the back-off, retry and pacing logic — and re-tune it as limits change.

Microsoft 365 throttling at scale

DataTapStream included

Pre-emptive back-off and throttling mitigation are built in to keep throughput high without tripping upstream limits.

Scaling & idle cost

Build it on Graph

You design the queues, workers, autoscalers and disaster recovery, and pay for compute that sits idle between jobs.

Scaling & idle cost

DataTapStream included

Queue-driven autoscaling spins workers up on demand and back to zero when idle — you pay for work, not waiting.

Multi-tenancy & isolation

Build it on Graph

Tenant isolation, key management and blast-radius containment are yours to architect, audit and defend.

Multi-tenancy & isolation

DataTapStream included

Every tenant gets dedicated, isolated Azure resources; tenant-scoped API keys are revocable instantly.

Restore back into M365

Build it on Graph

Graph has no bulk-restore primitive. Re-injecting items, folders, mailboxes or sites is a project on its own.

Restore back into M365

DataTapStream included

Browse collected content and restore it directly into OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and Exchange — single item through to whole mailbox or site.

Indexing & search

Build it on Graph

Stand up and operate your own search infrastructure and indexing pipeline.

Indexing & search

DataTapStream included

Full-text indexing with Azure AI Search plus queryable metadata for eDiscovery, enterprise search and RAG.

Ongoing maintenance

Build it on Graph

Graph APIs, throttling rules and auth requirements keep moving. Someone owns that, forever.

Ongoing maintenance

DataTapStream included

We maintain the connectors, scaling and compliance posture — you consume a stable REST API.

High throughput

A reactive streaming pipeline validates and schedules sources concurrently, batches work through durable queues, and fans out parallel per-account scanners so thousands of custodians flow through at once.

Low footprint

Workers run lean — fractional CPU and half-a-gig of memory by default, on runtime-only container images — and scale to zero between jobs so idle cost approaches nothing.

Dynamic auto-scaling

Replica counts track queue depth automatically: workers wake from zero when work arrives, scale out under load, and scale back to zero once the queue drains.

Dynamic provisioning

Each tenant gets its own resource group, database, storage and compute environment, created on demand. Each job spins up its own workers and queues, then tears them down when finished.

Optimal Azure usage

Serverless Cosmos DB, Storage Queues for decoupling, Key Vault with managed identity and consumption-based functions mean you only pay for the resources a job actually consumes.

Secure by design

Certificate-based, app-only OAuth grants tenant-wide M365 access with secrets held in Key Vault. Every endpoint is API-key secured and tenant-scoped.

Connectors out of the box

OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and Outlook/Exchange via Graph, in an extensible framework for new sources.

Restore

Browse collection and archive content and restore it back into M365 — single items through to entire mailboxes or sites.

Indexing & search

Full-text indexing with Azure AI Search plus queryable metadata for eDiscovery, enterprise search and RAG.

Real-time streaming

Ingest collected data as it lands for downstream processing — extraction, decryption, indexing and more.

Multi-tenant & isolated

Dedicated, isolated Azure resources per tenant; access controlled with revocable, tenant-scoped API keys.

API-first & white-label

A documented REST API plus a themeable reference UI to embed in your own administration console.
