Oh, this is fascinating. Seven years ago I architected a true-realtime telemetry pipeline with end-to-end sequential guarantees (with roundtrip times <200ms excluding network latencies, and cloud processing times <20ms, leveraging BOND/ProtocolBuffer over AMQP over Websocket). It's still used by every 1st-party game for a large publisher. It allowed for non-windowed event sequence analytics, enabling realtime feedback (think achievements that have multiple conditions). And then the requirement was dropped, and (as you've found), everyone just uses it like a standard telemetry stream and is OK with 5-15min bins. :P I still have a passion for the space, will definitely be reading up on this. I firmly believe this is the future of telemetry analytics; Congratulations on your efforts seeing the light of day!!
