DatadogEight Teams, Eight Latencies
Our gaming platform generates hundreds of millions of player events per day across millions of concurrent sessions - matchmaking events, trophy unlocks, in-game purchases, and session telemetry. Different internal teams need this data at very different latencies and granularities. Design the event pipeline and justify where you use real-time streaming versus batch processing for each consumer.
Ask the interviewer clarifying questions to understand the requirements and constraints before designing.
