Monitoring & Game Ops

Purpose

Structured logging, player telemetry, alerting, and performance budgets for game servers.

When to Use

Trigger: monitoring, logging, telemetry, alerting, performance, metrics, observability, error tracking, player analytics, server health, uptime

Prerequisites

• game-backend-architecture — what we're monitoring
• redis-game-patterns — metrics storage

Core Principles

1. Structured logging — JSON logs with consistent fields; never unstructured console.log in production
2. Player telemetry — track actions, session length, retention, spending — anonymized
