The 1st game weekend went alright from technical point of view (less so if we look at how the team played).
One phenomena is still reproducable. If you multitask with your phone, switch to other apps during the game chat and then come back, you sometimes end up in a situation where the topic is not updated. Status avatars do blink, indicating there is a a constant flow of posts.
A browser refresh or a visit via the index page is needed to see the missed posts.
All this using an up to date Android device w. Chrome.
We had a derby game last evening, so it was an great opportunity to monitor this:
One senior user logged the whole game with Chrome Dev Tools network inspector, and no error statuses were reported on the client
I ran a quick poll during the game, got a few dozen responses which were 94% postivive (no issues). This is a very good result and I am not sure if a clean 100% is even possible with this survey method (random users, random HW, random network conditions). So I consider anything above 90% a success.
To sum it up, on the CDCK SaaS infra this is now a marginal issue and the features generally work well even under a heavy/spiky load. Give me a nod if you wish to deep dive into this, and I’ll provide a potential date and time. After all you never know what happens in a game, and how the audience reacts to the events.
COVID-restrictions have eased up, so currently the arenas can be sold to full capacity. This has an impact on our audience as the HC fans will be on-site at the games, rather that furiously chatting online.
