Covers building a game-company data pipeline end-to-end using S3, Redshift and a custom high-throughput ingestion backend (with a thin client called Badger), addressing scalable ingestion, data design, warehousing and hot-loading into Redshift. Explains why they kept SQL as the query interface, how to support product managers and data scientists with on-demand tables and ad-hoc Redshift clusters, and tuning and bottleneck solutions for scale.
