Mountkirk Games Case Study
Company Overview
Mountkirk Games makes online, session-based. multiplayer games for the most popular mobile
platforms.
Company Background
Mountkirk Games builds all of their games with some server-side integration and has historically
used cloud providers to lease physical servers. A few of their games were more popular than
expected, and they had problems scaling their application servers, MySQL databases, and analytics
tools.
Mountkirk's current model is to write game statistics to files and send them through an ETL tool that
loads them into a centralized MySQL database for reporting.
Solution Concept
Mountkirk Games is building a new game, which they expect to be very popular. They plan to deploy
the game's backend on Google Compute Engine so they can capture streaming metrics, run intensive
analytics and take advantage of its autoscaling server environment and integrate with a managed
NoSQL database.
Technical Requirements
Requirements for Game Backend Platform
1. Dynamically scale up or down based on game activity.
2. Connect to a managed NoSQL database service.
3. Run customized Linx distro.
Requirements for Game Analytics Platform
1. Dynamically scale up or down based on game activity.
2. Process incoming data on the fly directly from the game servers.
3. Process data that arrives late because of slow mobile networks.
4. Allow SQL queries to access at least 10 TB of historical data.
5. Process files that are regularly uploaded by users' mobile devices.
6. Use only fully managed services
CEO Statement
Our last successful game did not scale well with our previous cloud provider, resuming in lower user
adoption and affecting the game’s reputation. Our investors want more key performance indicators
(KPIs) to evaluate the speed and stability of the game, as well as other metrics that provide deeper
insight into usage patterns so we can adapt the gams to target users.
CTO Statement
Our current technology stack cannot provide the scale we need, so we want to replace MySQL and
move to an environment that provides autoscaling, low latency load balancing, and frees us up from
managing physical servers.
CFO Statement
We are not capturing enough user demographic data usage metrics, and other KPIs. As a result, we do
not engage the right users. We are not confident that our marketing is targeting the right users, and we
are not selling enough premium Blast-Ups inside the games, which dramatically impacts our revenue.
