Prior to launch, they load-tested their software stack to process up to 5x their most optimistic traffic estimates. Pokémon GO’s success greatly exceeded the expectations of the Niantic engineering team.
The game was a runaway hit and more popular than anyone expected-that summer you’d regularly see players gathering to duel around landmarks that were Pokémon Gyms in the virtual world. It was the first new Pokémon game in years, the first official Pokémon smartphone game, and Niantic’s first project in concert with a major entertainment company. Niantic launched Pokémon GO in the summer of 2016. If you haven't put it on your reading list, here's a tantalizing excerpt from CHAPTER 11 Managing Load by Cooper Bethea, Gráinne Sheerin, Jennifer Mace, and Ruth King with Gary Luo and Gary O’Connor. This is notably different with games that actually connect to Google, those store settings and usually progress in the Google account and if they discontinue the service, someone can just take over.There are a lot of cool nuggets in Google's New Book: The Site Reliability Workbook. If someone subsequently created a fanmade clone of Pokemon GO, everyone would have to start over from scratch, it would be impossible to pull any account info from Google or Trainer Club because there's nothing there. This also means that should Niantic ever shut down their servers, everything Pokemon GO related will be gone, there will be no way to get any records pulled out from your Google account. You can't revoke access because all it ever needs is the name of the Google account linked to the device and you really can't hide that from an app. Therefore, Pokemon GO will never show up as a connected app in your Google settings. It has a completely seperate account based on your Google account's e-mail address, which is the only thing it needs to load that account, operating under the assumption that the Google account would only be present on the phone if you had the password. When you "log in with Google", the game checks whether a Google account is present on the phone and what the associated e-mail address is, then loads the Pokemon GO account identified by this e-mail address, without ever trying to access or otherwise use the Google account. As far as I know (I don't have a source other than personal observations), Pokemon GO doesn't access your Google account at all.
