Episode #25: How Synthetic Monitoring Helped Us Make, and Break an RPG Game

Featuring:
Chris Riley — Sr. Technology Advocate and Developer Relations, Splunk
Tetiana Kelly — Developer Advocate, Splunk

Being user obsessed is a key tenet in the practices of Observability and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), but having deep knowledge of how your application is working with your users is tricky. That is where Digital Experience Monitoring comes in. Join us as we explore how we used DEM and Synthetics to make, break and improve the quality of an RPG game. Discover how synthetics can bring you greater understanding of your users, and a unique way to optimize your game and plan for future functionality. In this webinar learn about:

  • What is Synthetics and Observability
  • Using synthetics to improve the quality of your app
  • How to approach observability for a single-page-app
