Common development challenges
Companion apps
Storage (game state)
Telemetry and analytics AI
Multiplayer communications
High and extremely highload
Case 1: storage
Performance counters data can be collected every secondMobile app: every user action = new eventMultiplayer: amount of msgs/sec can be >100 000We need a big, scalable, fast and flexible storage
