GAM401: Designing for the Future: Building a Flexible Event-based Analytics Architecture for Games - a podcast by AWS

The pace of technology innovation is relentless, especially at AWS. Designing and building new system architectures is a balancing act between using established, production-ready technologies while maintaining the ability to evolve and take advantage of new features and innovations as they become available.  In this session, learn how Amazon Game Studios built a flexible analytics pipeline on AWS for their team battle sport game, Breakaway, that provided value on day one, but was built with the future in mind. We will discuss the challenges we faced and the solution we built for ingesting, storing and analyzing gameplay telemetry and dive deep into the technical architecture using AWS many services including Amazon Kinesis, Amazon S3, and Amazon Redshift.  This session will focus on game analytics as a specific use case, but will emphasize an overarching focus on designing an architectural flexibility that is relevant to any system.
