Come hear about our journey on replacing Datadog to monitor our systems at Uken Games and how we migrated to an open source Observability stack. We’ll be covering what monitoring capabilities we had with Datadog and explore our in-house Open-source based system which costs ~10x less and eliminates unpredictable vendor pricing. We’ll dive deep into how we replaced each component that we were using from Datadog, pragmatic cost cutting decisions, and technologies we used such as OpenTelemetry, Clickhouse, Prometheus & Grafana to ensure the highest quality gaming experience for our global playerbase.
