🚀 A Gaming Platform Expands: Setting the Stage for Scale
When one of our gaming clients came to us with plans to expand into new territories, our job was to make sure their backend could handle the growth without performance hiccups.
We deployed a multi-cluster ClickHouse setup to power fast analytics at scale. Alongside that, ETCD was introduced to keep cluster state reliable across environments, and Terraform Cloud workflows were set up to turn complex infrastructure changes into simple, versioned rollouts.
The core issues on Hetzner weren’t about software quality or dev practices. They were infrastructural:
💸 Cost Optimization for Energy Analytics — Where’s the Money Going?
We dug in, traced usage patterns, and uncovered some under-the-radar configurations that were draining budget through AWS’s Client-VPN-Endpoint. Beyond that, we tackled broader optimizations:
