Case Study: Playtika achieves 300 engineering hours gained per day with Lenses.io

How Playtika Gains 300 Engineering Hours Per Day with Lenses.io

Playtika, a leading social mobile gaming company, needed a scalable way to operate Apache Kafka and Kubernetes across many environments while improving observability for engineering and business teams. As its realtime data platform grew, the company faced rising infrastructure costs, complex maintenance, and limited visibility that slowed issue resolution and reduced productivity.

Playtika implemented Lenses.io to provide a centralized platform for Kafka observability, discovery, monitoring, alerting, and security. With Lenses, teams could troubleshoot issues in minutes instead of hours, including one production incident affecting millions of gamers that was resolved in 15 minutes. Playtika estimates the solution saves 300 working hours per day and about €2 million per year.
