Case Study: a leading game developer saves millions while scaling with Sysdig Monitor

Leading Game Developer saves millions and scales custom metrics 10x with Sysdig

The customer, a leading game developer, faced escalating costs and limited visibility as their ad platform scaled to billions of monthly impressions. Their existing monitoring tool, Datadog, imposed restrictive limits that caused metrics to disappear, creating critical blind spots during peak traffic. They turned to the vendor, Sysdig, and its Sysdig Monitor product to address these scaling challenges.

Sysdig provided a scalable monitoring model that offered full transparency into their usage. The solution enabled an easy migration from Datadog and delivered accelerated time to value. By implementing Sysdig Monitor, the customer achieved a 75% reduction in custom metrics cost while increasing their custom metrics volume by 10x. This switch saved them millions of dollars annually, improved platform reliability, and gave them the confidence to expand their business faster.
