GAM301: Supercell - Scaling Mobile Games

In this session, learn how Supercell architected its analytics pipeline on AWS. We dive deep into how Supercell leverages Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon EMR, and Spark to ingest, process, store, and query petabytes of data. We also dive deep into how Supercell's games are architected to accommodate scaling and failure recovery. We explain how Supercell's teams are organized into small and independent cells and how this affects the technology choices they make to produce value and agility in the development process.
