The Challenge: SQL Sprawl and Access Risks
The company had hundreds of users running SQL queries against various AWS services like Amazon Redshift, Athena, and Aurora. With increasing users came increased risks:
- Limited control over who could query what data and how.
- Manual processes for managing SQL permissions and data access audits.
- Potential data security risks and non-compliance due to lack of visibility.
- Slow onboarding of new users and analysts, creating bottlenecks.
This led to SQL sprawl, audit fatigue, and operational inefficiencies.
The Solution: Centralized, Secure, Scalable SQL Workflows
Agilisium implemented a centralized SQL access governance platform, built natively on AWS, that enabled:
- Role-based access controls (RBAC) to tightly manage who can run which queries, where, and when.
- Query auditing and tracking for improved compliance and traceability.
- User-friendly interfaces for business users and analysts to access only approved datasets.
- Scalable workflows to support new teams and geographies without sacrificing security.
The architecture was built with AWS-native services to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure and minimal overhead.
Impact Delivered
- 75% reduction in manual access management efforts.
- Faster time-to-insights for analysts across departments.
- Enhanced data security and compliance posture.
- Improved developer productivity through automated query governance.
The transformation helped the gaming company focus more on innovation and gameplay experience rather than backend operations.
Why It Matters
Gaming companies process terabytes of data daily—from in-game metrics to customer engagement patterns. Poorly managed SQL access not only slows innovation but also puts IP and player data at risk. By using a cloud-native, scalable SQL governance model, this leader in gaming ensured compliance and agility—without compromising on data security.
