Case Study
Here's the Case-Study of some of our works we'd like you to see...
Gaming Application
Our client, a global online-gaming provider company, was keen to enhance their services owing to frequent performance issues. The client engaged MagnusMinds to validate and test the existing issues and determine the best way to move forward.
The Challenge
The client's app and website were experiencing significant performance issues, including slow operation and frequent crashes. These issues prevented management from obtaining timely reports and hindered their growth ambitions. Minimizing downtime was critical, requiring strategic planning to handle a daily load of 10 million requests and integrate new providers to enhance the gaming platform's offerings.
The Solution
We analyzed their existing platform and app. To provide immediate relief, we leveraged our SQL Server Optimization expertise as a short-term solution. This gave us time to develop a comprehensive long-term strategy.
Drawing on our experience with scaling start-ups, we identified modules that could be decoupled, allowing them to be deployed separately. Previously, a single server handled all requests, leading to bottlenecks. By decoupling, we distributed the load across multiple servers. We proposed using AWS Load Balancers to manage traffic more effectively, resulting in smoother operations.
In our deeper analysis, we discovered data inconsistencies. Reports were being generated from LOG/HISTORY tables and were inaccurate. We addressed this by optimizing the database schema—normalizing it for operations and de-normalizing it for reporting purposes. This improved report accuracy and reduced data load without adding overhead.
Subsequently, we integrated 10 more game providers, offering their games on the platform without requiring additional infrastructure.
Through strategic Database Performance Tuning and Infrastructure Optimization, we facilitated the client's growth from a 150k collection to a 600k collection. The application now operates in auto mode, delivering consistent performance and client satisfaction. The client is delighted with the results, as their platform can now support continued growth and offer a richer gaming experience.
