Case Study: a game development company saves millions and cuts custom metrics costs 75% with Sysdig Monitor

game development company saves millions with Sysdig after cutting custom metrics costs 75%

A game development company faced significant challenges with its previous monitoring vendor, Datadog. As their business scaled, Datadog's costs for custom metrics skyrocketed to millions of dollars annually and were projected to increase 400%. Furthermore, the platform could not handle the high volume of metrics, causing data to be dropped and creating critical visibility gaps for their auction platform.

The company implemented Sysdig Monitor to address these issues. Sysdig provided a solution with a much lower unit cost for custom metrics and the ability to scale linearly without imposing limits. This migration resulted in a 75% reduction in custom metrics costs, saving the company millions of dollars, while also enabling them to handle a 10x increase in metrics volume. Sysdig also offered easy migration tools and more transparent, responsive support.
