Riak for Gaming & Betting

• “Always-on” Gaming — When hardware fails, your system must stay online so your gamers can keep playing. Riak’s masterless architecture is designed to continue to operate even in the event of network partition or hardware failures. By default, Riak keeps three copies of your data across the cluster ensuring your data is always available for read/write access. Your app keeps running and your gamers keep playing.
• Scale Gamer Connections — Riak provides highly available, scalable, and accurate data storage for player data like user and profile information, game performance, statistics and rankings, and more. Riak KV is used to store and serve user and session data with the predictable low latency necessary for game play. Riak KV imposes no restrictions on the type of content stored and never loses a write, so session data can be encoded in many ways and can evolve without administrative changes to schemas.
• Stream Time Series Data — Fast ingest and analysis of time series data is a challenge. To store and analyze data like win rates, streaming sports statistics, or IoT device data, you need a database that can handle the volume and velocity of this data. Riak TS is specifically optimized for fast ingest and analysis of IoT and time series data so you can continuously display updated stats.
• Low-latency Global Connectivity — Gaming requires a fast experience, regardless of the gamers physical location. Interrupted or slow game play can lead to poor user experience and abandonment. Riak Enterprise includes Multi-cluster Replication so that game data is physically located close to players for fast response times regardless of player location.
• Scalable Chat Services — Whether used for customer support or in-game communication between players, chat is a crucial feature for gaming and betting applications. Supporting millions of concurrent users requires very fast data storage. Due to the key/value design, Riak KV is ideal for supporting chat features, and for storing and serving social content, such as social graph information, player profiles, player relationships, social authentication accounts, and other types of social gaming data.
• Real-time Analytics — Riak provides many different tools for querying and indexing data, such as a full-text search engine and secondary indexing. With Riak TS you can even use SQL. The Riak Apache Spark Connector automatically synchronizes data between Riak and Spark for real-time, in-memory analytics.
