The Challenge
Scopely, a rapidly growing mobile gaming company, faced several challenges in maintaining stable, top performance for their games. Initially, they used Amazon’s Elasticache for Redis management but found it required unrealistic levels of self-monitoring. High availability and sub-millisecond response times were crucial for their business, as any performance issues could lead to users switching to other applications. Additionally, Scopely needed to consolidate efforts, focusing on technology innovation while outsourcing non-core services to save time and money. With a modest-sized operations team, they did not want to burden their developers with managing Redis. Lastly, scalability was a significant concern. Scopely's games could rapidly grow from thousands to hundreds of thousands of users within 24 hours, necessitating efficient and quick scaling of their Redis databases.

Scopely has sophisticated user acquisition channels and deep relationships with Google and Apple, significantly increasing developers' odds of achieving quality visibility. Their rigorous product management practice ensures that metrics are met throughout the lifecycle of all games. Scopely also engages in a diversified strategy for IP licensing, working with outside developers while keeping the design process internal.
