Athena laid our foundation, but growth demands prompted a shift to Starburst. With its Warp Speed indexing and caching, costs were cut by 70%, seamlessly aligning with our expansion. Starburst not only caters to our growth but elevates performance and optimization in our data engineering landscape.

Junglee Games is a leader in the skill-gaming space, with over 100 million registered players. Founded in San Francisco in 2012 and part of the $30 Bn Flutter Entertainment Group, Junglee Games is the fastest-growing skill games company in Southeast Asia. Some of its notable games are Junglee Rummy, Howzat, Junglee Poker, and Carrom Stars, which are available on multiple platforms, including web browsers and Android and iOS devices.
The company’s mission is to build entertainment for millions of people around the world and help them connect with each other through high-quality games. The organization has two main verticals: the engineering division, responsible for building the gaming platform, and the data and analytics division, comprising Data Science, Business Intelligence, and Data Engineering teams. The Data Engineering team is central to providing comprehensive data solutions, catering to Business Intelligence, Finance, Data Science, Acquisition, Retention, and other departments.
Junglee Games has received various accolades for its contribution to the online gaming space. The company continues to innovate and develop new games, expanding its presence in the global gaming market.
The data landscape at Junglee Games consists of numerous disparate sources ranging from relational databases and NoSQL databases to Kafka for real-time use cases. Data is processed through streaming and batch pipelines, with Amazon Athena serving as the data analytics engine on top of AWS S3.
Junglee Games faced problems of escalating costs and limited capabilities with Athena. The absence of a caching layer resulted in high S3 GetObject (GET) call charges for repetitive queries. Additionally, security and access controls were inadequate, limiting data masking and column-level permissions.
After evaluating various options, Junglee Games chose Starburst Enterprise as the replacement for Athena. Migrating from Athena to Starburst proved to be straightforward, with minimal changes needed on the query side as opposed to a more complex migration process required for Dremio.
Additionally, Junglee Games is in the process of deprecating its cloud data warehouse, which will be completed over the next few months. While it has been primarily utilized for repeat-use cases with queries run multiple times a day, Starburst Warp Speed’s smart indexing and caching capabilities and similar pricing model allow for a smooth transition.
After implementing Starburst Enterprise, the company saw the following benefits within three weeks:
Future state: Data tool consolidation and enhanced data access
Junglee Games aims to centralize data access through the data lakehouse, streamline operations, and improve business agility by leveraging Starburst’s capabilities. This includes consolidating data tools and connectors directly within Starburst to provide seamless access to a variety of databases.
With Starburst as its end-to-end platform for the open lakehouse, Junglee Games is poised to continue its growth trajectory in the dynamic gaming industry.
