Solution

KRAFTON uses Databricks Data + AI Platform and Unity Catalog to support governed game analytics and privacy-aware AI operations. KRAFTON needed to unify game and customer data across many studios because inconsistent access patterns and fragmented pipelines were slowing decision-making, collaboration, and privacy-aware innovation. In practice, the implementation governs access and lineage with Unity Catalog, and runs transformation or AI logic on Databricks Data + AI Platform. Legacy operational and analytics data are consolidated into a governed cloud data layer; Databricks Data + AI Platform applies analytics or model logic. The case study reports Watch video 20PB, 60TB, and Of streaming data processed each day 2,000, showing measurable improvement after the rollout.

Data flow

Legacy operational and analytics data are consolidated into a governed cloud data layer; Databricks Data + AI Platform applies analytics or model logic.

Solution architecture

2 components · 2 layers

Scoring methodology

How scores are calculated

Customer Reference Value measures usefulness as a customer reference. Evidence Confidence measures the quality and traceability of available evidence, not independent verification.

Customer reference value85/100
  • Problem clarity20/20

  • Implementation depth20/25
    Rewards named components, data flow, integrations, and architecture detail.
  • Outcome specificity20/20
    Measures whether the reported benefit is concrete rather than a generic claim.
  • Quantified impact25/25
    3 metrics describe measurable impact.
  • Deployment scale0/10
    Rewards evidence of a live or scaled deployment and meaningful integration scope.
