Abstract
A unique pattern in video game software is real-time interactions to express the personality of users.
Here we will talk about how we instrument the universe of New Eden to identify the traffic that matters, even the "fun" parts!
We'll explore how we achieve performant observability in a 20 year old legacy system running along side modern technologies:
- 100% Head base sampling ecosystem
- Blend of dynamic and deterministic sampling techniques
- The blessing and curse that is the Exponential Moving Average (EMA)
- Observing "fun" without breaking the bank
