The prime responsibility of the M365 Routing team is to make the M365 applications responsive by optimizing network access to the backend servers. We run a high scale distributed service that routes tens of trillions of requests per day and moves petabytes of data. This includes both user-to-service and service-to-service communication. Our software services end user requests and will proxy the connections accurately to the backend services in the most optimal way possible to achieve ever improving low-latency goals. Example technologies that we work with include Chaos Engineering, load balancing, connection management, throttling, distributed caching, CDN and HTTP/3.
