Case Study: Genius Sonority achieves 90X faster game analytics with Oracle MySQL HeatWave

Genius Sonority speeds game analytics by 90X with MySQL HeatWave

Genius Sonority, a Japanese video game designer, needed real-time analytics on game usage and campaign participation to improve player experience and tune game difficulty. Using Oracle’s MySQL Database Service on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, the company struggled with delays and added complexity because data had to be moved to a separate analytics platform.

Oracle implemented MySQL HeatWave alongside the existing MySQL Database Service, allowing Genius Sonority to run OLTP and OLAP workloads directly from the database without data movement. The result was a 90X improvement in complex analytics performance, cutting analysis time from 2–3 hours to just 2–3 minutes and enabling real-time insights with no changes to existing gaming applications.
