The Game Analytics Pipeline is an AWS Solutions Implementation that helps game developers launch a scalable serverless data pipeline to ingest, store, and analyze telemetry data generated from their games and services. Player usage patterns can vary widely and a game’s success in the marketplace can be unpredictable. This can make it challenging to build and maintain solutions that scale with your player population while remaining cost effective and easy to manage. Many game developers and game publishers want to centralize data from across applications into common formats for integration with their data lake and analytics applications. The solution is designed to provide a framework for ingesting game events into your data lake for analytics and storage, allowing you to focus on expanding the solution functionality rather than managing the underlying infrastructure operations.
