It’s no secret that AWS Lambda adoption has grown steadily since AWS first released it in 2015—and for good reason.

When a service is scaled, simple logging doesn’t cut it anymore and a more in-depth view into system’s flow is required. That’s where distributed tracing comes into play; it allows developers and SREs to get a detailed view of a request as it travels through the system of services.

Similar to other companies in the entertainment industry, gaming companies typically drive revenue from three sources: in-app purchases, ads, and subscription. A couple of examples of these sources include creating different in-app purchase options for each game and various ad units from multiple ad networks. While this diversity in revenue streams may be advantageous from a business perspective, from a technical standpoint, it creates numerous challenges.
