Gala、AWS上のClickHouseで分析パフォーマンスを劇的に向上

Gala, a blockchain-based platform offering games and media, drastically enhanced its data capabilities and reduced costs by transitioning to ClickHouse, an AWS partner, to handle its expanding data needs. Founded by Zynga co-founder Eric Schiermeyer in 2019, Gala initially struggled with its existing data infrastructure, which could not keep up with the increasing data from its fast-paced games and expanding user base. By choosing ClickHouse for its scalability, performance, and cost-effectiveness, Gala improved data ingestion speed, reduced costs by 30%, and significantly enhanced query performance from minutes to sub-seconds. The move also empowered non-technical staff with data access through Metabase, an open-source BI tool, enabling broader usage of analytics across the company. As a result, Gala not only improved its engineering efficiency and marketing strategies but also expanded its data capacity from 3 TB to 9 TB while maintaining robust support from ClickHouse, which addressed system concerns and facilitated the transition process.
