Case Study: Mediatonic achieves scalable game log monitoring with Logz.io

Mediatonic gets logs live in 10 minutes with Logz.io

Mediatonic, a UK-based video game studio, faced the challenge of monitoring and gaining insights from massive volumes of gaming log data generated by their hit title, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. Their homegrown solution was insufficient for the scale required to support hundreds of thousands of concurrent players. They needed a centralized source of truth and a more efficient way to handle logging to save engineering time and control costs, leading them to seek a solution from vendor Logz.io and its Log Management platform.

Logz.io provided a solution that was integrated and ready for launch within months. The platform centralized all data, allowing for easy visualization and real-time monitoring of server performance and player activity. A key benefit was the ability to drop unnecessary logs, which optimized costs and data retention. The results were significant; Mediatonic could now monitor hundreds of thousands of users simultaneously, identify server issues in seconds, and break down gameplay data by platform, region, and time, providing unprecedented insights that were not possible before implementing Logz.io.
