Case Study: King achieves real-time game reporting and scalable innovation with Confluent Cloud

King Levels Up Gaming Performance With Real-Time Data Streaming From Confluent

King, the global mobile gaming company behind Candy Crush Saga®, needed a way to handle rapidly growing data volumes and reduce the complexity and cost of self-managing Apache Kafka and Apache Flink. As its reporting and monitoring needs expanded, King wanted a scalable, reliable partner that could support its large-scale gaming infrastructure and help it move from batch-based processing toward more real-time insights.

Confluent Cloud was the solution King implemented to fully manage its data streaming infrastructure. With Confluent, King reduced operational overhead, gained confidence in Kafka at scale, and began shifting more compute-intensive reporting to real-time stream processing. The result was the ability to provision new environments without additional hardware, improve scalability and stability, and move closer to decommissioning its legacy batch pipeline entirely.
