Why Would I Use Tashi Monitor Nodes?

For those that haven’t read our previous article, Tashi’s unique architecture allows for the benefits of dedicated game servers, such as low latency and secure communication, while maintaining the cost-effectiveness of peer-to-peer game servers.

This approach not only provides better performance and security, but also allows for easy scalability. And because the network is decentralized, there is no single point of failure.

But what about accessing game data for analytics or interacting with game sessions from your game backend? Tashi has you covered. The platform includes robust monitor nodes that allows for easy integration with any game backend, providing access to all necessary game event data.

The monitor nodes extract all game event data and can be easily dropped onto a Kafka stream. This allows for seamless interaction with microservices and other applications that consume data from the stream. With this functionality, Tashi’s monitor nodes can help game developers streamline their entire backend infrastructure, from data collection to processing and analysis. By leveraging the power of Kafka, developers can build scalable and resilient architectures that can handle large amounts of game event data. This also enables real-time analysis and decision making, which can be critical for ensuring a successful game launch and long-term user engagement.

While Tashi monitor nodes can also be utilized to emit game events that only the developer can trigger. For example, Tashi monitor nodes can be used to implement features such as truly random loot boxes or kicking a user out from a game.
