Case Study: Cloud Imperium Games achieves scalable game analytics and lower costs with ChaosSearch

Cloud Imperium Games analyzes hundreds of terabytes with ChaosSearch

Cloud Imperium Games, an international game developer, faced significant challenges with their self-service analytics platform. Their previous ELK stack could not handle the explosive growth of game telemetry data, leading to severe data retention limits, performance issues, and an inability to fulfill developer requests without building manual ETL solutions. This hindered their mission to expand data-driven decision-making for their titles Star Citizen and Squadron 42.

By implementing the ChaosSearch platform, the company transformed its Amazon S3 cloud storage into a performant analytics data lake without the need for data movement. ChaosSearch provided substantial cost savings, sharply reduced technical management, and gave developers access to vast amounts of data through familiar interfaces. This significantly enhanced the team's ability to analyze player behavior, troubleshoot applications, and make ongoing development and commercial decisions.
