Even if BSG came out tomorrow and publicly released their entire server topology/infrastructure, then said "here's what's consistently failing under too much load; somebody with expertise please help us fix it", there'd still be 10+ people all making blanket suggestions like "jUsT pUT iT In ThE ClOuD!!! It's this easy!", without a single iota of a nuance or a detailed solution offered. As if it's just a matter of calling fucking CDW or something and having their "experts" migrate your product into your elastic computing partner of choice over a weekend, JFC.

Also curious, maybe it was mentioned by Scott in an interview. Amazon Game Tech has many hosting solutions not just EKS.

Amazon Web Services (AWS - Game Technologies group)| Various roles | Seattle (though currently WFH) | Full-time, Onsite | https://aws.amazon.com/gametech/

I am the senior manager (skip-level manager) for these roles so feel free to email me with questions (contact info in my profile). We have multiple mid-level (experience expected) software development engineering roles open. We work on cutting edge tech that helps games and simulations run on AWS and scale in ways they couldn't alone. I am looking for people with distributed service development (we do most of this in Java), and game engine/game dev experience (preferred Unreal). We're building an all new AWS service, solving hard technical problems, and we get to have games as a customer, which is pretty awesome to me.

Game Server Hosting on AWS Fargate This repository contains an example solution on how to scale a fleet of game servers on AWS Fargate on Elastic Container Service and route players to game sessions using a Serverless backend. Game Server data is stored in ElastiCache Redis. All resources are deployed with Infrastructure as Code using CloudFormation, Serverless Application Model, Docker and bash/powershell scripts. By leveraging AWS Fargate for your game servers you don't need to manage the underlying virtual machines.

It would be a shame not to mention PostHog as the telemetry provider we are using, since it turned out to be extremely useful. Because it is hard to find people who will talk with you about your product, gathering statistics gave us a much greater insight into our users.

6- PostHog

Hi HN, PostHog employee here. I'm working on our Web Analytics product, which is currently in beta. It's fun to see us mentioned here :)

I should mention that we have a ton of SDKs (see https://posthog.com/docs/libraries) for back end frameworks and languages, so if you wanted to use PostHog without any client-side JS you could send pageviews and other events manually, but for the vast majority of people it makes more sense to use our JS snippet.

Hijacking this comment to share the roadmap for web analytics https://github.com/PostHog/posthog/issues/18547. It's very much in the launch-early-and-be-embarassed phase, but I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions that people have, particularly if you're already a PostHog user.

how's this different than https://posthog.com/ ?

PostHog - Open Source Alternative to Mixpanel

Don't insert the logs/events/analytics into your Application DB. Usually, you send those to specialist datastores (OLAP etc) that process such high volume of data. You can use something like clickhouse [0] for example or use 3rd party SAAS solutions like posthog [1] etc that are built on top of clickhouse

I may use Flask-Admin initially to offload the "CRUD" operations to have an initial prototype fast but then drop it ASAP because I don't want to write a "flask-admin application" to fight against later on. If the application is mainly "CRUD", then Flask-Admin is suitable.

Now...

Would you do a breakdown/list of all the jobs you've done by sector/vertical and by function/role and by application functionality?

There seems to be posthog.com analytics and AB or feature flag functionality that is blocked by adblockers. Probably that?
