Pokemon Go was the first product to be handled by the Google Customer Reliability Engineering (CRE), a new service provided by Google model to customers which includes a close collaboration between Google's technical team and customers, by creating a shared responsibility for the reliability and success of critical cloud applications, as it is precisely Pokemon Go.
After 15 minutes since the launch of Go Pokemon in Australia and New Zealand Niantic noticed immediately that something unusual was going on. Recall that in the world of mobile gaming is customary to make "soft launch" on secondary markets, in order just to test the type of interest from the users and infrastructure management capacity servers against the app.
Niantic telephoned immediately to the technicians of the CRE, Stone says, looking for reinforcements ahead of the launch in the United States. All Google teams working on the GCP had to remodel the structure based on the new estimates. Pokemon Go, in fact, use different tools of GCP including Cloud Datastore, on which is kept the main database of Go Pokemon with key information in the world of Pokemon Go.
