Gaming Industry Cloud Migration Case

Client Background

• The client was accelerating a broader digital business transformation around a full-stack mobile gaming platform.
• Its existing application environment was largely self-managed on GCP virtual hosts and needed a more sustainable operating model.

Business Needs

• Migrate the application platform to AWS and adopt managed capabilities suited to ongoing growth.
• Address data transfer, peak-period elasticity, and cloud security planning during the transition.

Architecture Approach

• Application Load Balancer and Auto Scaling Group were used to support automatic scaling during peak traffic periods.
• Amazon RDS for MySQL and Amazon ElastiCache reduced the operational load of database and cache management.
• Collected data was stored in Amazon S3 to preserve a path toward later data lake development.
• Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, AWS Security Hub, and AWS KMS strengthened the security posture.
• Amazon CloudWatch and AWS CloudTrail provided resource monitoring and audit tracing.

Business Value

• Replaced part of the self-managed platform burden with AWS managed capabilities for steadier day-to-day operations.
• Created a clearer path for elastic scaling during traffic peaks while improving security governance and auditability.
• Preserved a stronger data foundation for future platform evolution and data lake planning.
