The Challenge

A gaming platform was experiencing performance degradation during peak hours, leading to poor user experience, increased churn, and negative reviews from the gaming community.

They needed an automated performance optimization solution that could proactively identify bottlenecks, optimize resources, and maintain consistent performance under varying loads.

Key Challenges:

  • Slow response times during peak gaming hours
  • Manual performance tuning consuming significant resources
  • Lack of proactive performance monitoring
  • Inconsistent user experience across different regions
  • High infrastructure costs due to over-provisioning
