When we operate our mech shooter, War Robots, and our other games, we want to know what’s going on there; it’s also nice to know what’s happening on the servers — this means we need to collect events.

In this article, we’ll talk about how we collect events from our mobile devices and servers, how we store them, and why we don’t use ready-made analytical databases.
