The toughest part, dear game developers, is not the development and deployment in the app stores. Hundreds of games are being deployed every day in app stores. The real journey begins once your game has been released. Getting good visibility, installs and reviews is the first challenge. Post installation, you got to keep track of every activity your players are participating in. Analyzing the game performance in real-time is essential before you deploy any campaign as the number of concurrently connected users is vital in decision making of the scaling of your game.

Let’s take a scenario where you expected a million CCUs and ended up getting a lot less than that, it won’t do any good to you and your precious hard earned money will get wasted. Analyzing the game performance in real-time is extremely important when it comes to deciding what billing plan you must go for understanding the audience behavior to launch campaigns at the right time and for the right audience.
