Summary:
For audit purposes, we were required to keep certain logs of in-game transactions for a couple of years and make them available for occasional querying. To reduce complexity and costs, we were able to unify the systems for gathering these logs and decrease the overall solution cost by 95% during the design process.
Challenges:
Data volume of over 0.5PB
Data volume of over 0.5PB
Data stored on remote sites (due to legal requirements)
Solution:
Analysie the data
Redesign data format to decrease overhead
Gather, Classify and structure the data
Prepare cost efficient data-lake solution powerd by BigQuery, Cloud Storage and clever data placement
