Challenges
-
Servers are easily overloaded on the day the game debuted
Large-scale promotions on multiple channels attracted a large number of gamers on the day the game debuted. A flood of concurrent access requests in multi-player battles put Intensive workloads on server computing and databases, and servers can be easily overloaded.

Cross-server battles demand high concurrency capability of Redis.
Cross-server battles result in heavy workloads on databases. Redis has to support 100,000 concurrent requests from tens of millions users during peak hours.

GaussDB(for Redis) are used as global cache and cross-server cache to easily handle traffic peaks in cross-server battles.
GaussDB(for Redis) has high stability. Network latency is reduced to 0.1 ms (p99 0.3 ms) even if workloads increase by up to 20-fold during peak hours.
GaussDB(for Redis) supports hitless scale-out. Capacity can be expanded in seconds during peak hours on the first day of gaming and with no service interruptions.
A three-copy DR solution ensures the consistency of underlying data to prevent dirty reads, simplifying the upper-layer service logical architecture.
