How Betclic is using its Datalake to generate some load tests and simulate sports events ? by Jozwia

Sports betting is growing a lot since few years in Europ. All actors in the domain are confronted to the same issue : how to ensure a flawless continuity of service whereas systems requests are exponentially increasing ? Climax of the phenomenon, Euro 2020 football excitement. To prepare that event, at Betclic, we developed a platform to generate some load tests in order to replay past events and associated actions (bet placement, offers reading, etc) Based on a datalake which is able to ingest our logs, that solution allows us to simulate a configurable growth (+50 %, + 100%). We propose an architecture presentation about tools we set up and used (AWS Glue, Athena), and also our load tests strategies with Gatling tool.
