At Youzu Interactive, we need to ingest gaming business data into our data center in real time and migrate and transfer data between various storage systems in offline scenarios. Before adopting SeaTunnel, we used various real-time collection tools and offline migration tools — too many types of tools, difficult to maintain, and not stable enough. After introducing SeaTunnel, we improved the quality of our real-time ingestion tasks and reduced the maintenance costs of offline migration tools. Currently, we have migrated 80% of our real-time ingestion tasks and offline migration tasks to SeaTunnel.
