Niantic: Creating a Database Based on TiKV

Overview

Niantic is an American gaming company best known for developing the augmented reality mobile game. One of their games, Pokémon Go, has over 147 million monthly active users in its peak time. A game this large needs a database that is elastically scalable and that can quickly respond to highly concurrent queries.

In this session, Xingkai Wang, Staff Software Engineer at Ninantic, will introduce WStore, a database service built upon TiKV, an open source distributed KV storage. WStore provides uninterrupted gaming to users around the world.
