Per-minute concurrent-viewer anomaly detection for Sooka match nights.
EPL kickoff hits and the stream either holds or it doesn't — and “did it hold?” is a question Monday's deck answers far too late. This is the watcher I shaped on Sooka: per-minute concurrent-viewer monitoring against an expected match-shape band, with half-time, kickoff, and goal-moment seasonality baked in. Anomalies surface in #sooka-liveops while the match is still on the pitch, not after the final whistle.
A flat concurrent-viewer dashboard can’t tell a half-time dip apart from a CDN regional outage. By the time someone notices a real drop, half the audience has already churned to a Telegram pirate stream — and they don’t come back next match.
Instead of a flat threshold, the watcher learns the shape of a match: kickoff ramp, goal-moment bumps, half-time trough, full-time tail. Anomalies are only flagged where the deviation is unexpected for that minute of that fixture tier.
Liveops stopped staring at Grafana and started reacting to alerts in-thread. Mean time to notice a regional CDN dip during a Big Match Friday fell from “post-match review” to under a minute — small wins that compound across a 38-week season.
One anomaly above threshold. The other slipped past quiet.

The watcher tracks three signals so the alert has context, not just a number.
Per-minute concurrents indexed against the match-shape band per fixture tier (Big Match · Standard · Mid-week).
Player rebuffers per session, per CDN edge. Catches regional delivery issues the headline number alone would miss.
Free-tier ad-completion drop-off and VIP session terminations. Surfaces ad-stack and paywall incidents under match load.
