🎮 Built for game studios • ⚡ <50ms latency • 💰 Average 65% savings

Gaming Infrastructure Challenges

Gaming workloads are unique - unpredictable surges, global latency requirements, and zero-tolerance for lag.

Massive Player Surges

Game launches and viral moments create 50-100x traffic spikes that traditional scaling can't handle efficiently

80% infrastructure waste during low periods

Global Latency Requirements

Low-latency gaming requires expensive infrastructure across multiple regions worldwide

3x higher costs for global presence

Unpredictable Peak Patterns

Gaming traffic varies by region, time zone, events, and player behavior making capacity planning impossible

Over-provisioning to avoid player rage

Post-Launch Cost Explosion

Success leads to massive infrastructure bills that can kill profitability and prevent scaling

Successful games become unprofitable

Gaming Industry FAQ

Will optimization affect player experience or game performance?

Never. Our AI prioritizes player experience above all else. We include safety margins for latency-sensitive workloads and automatically scale before performance impacts occur. Gaming performance is actually improved through better resource allocation.

How quickly can you scale for viral game moments or surprise events?

Our predictive scaling acts 5-15 minutes before demand hits, and reactive scaling responds within 30 seconds. For gaming, we pre-scale based on social media buzz, streamer activity, and event calendars.

Can you handle different types of games (FPS, MMO, mobile, etc.)?

Yes. Our AI learns the specific patterns of your game type. FPS games need low-latency scaling, MMOs need database optimization, mobile games need global edge placement. Each game type gets customized strategies.

What about compliance and player data protection (GDPR, COPPA)?

All optimizations respect data residency requirements and compliance regulations. We ensure player data stays in required regions and maintain security standards for gaming industry compliance.

How do you optimize costs during game development vs live operations?

Development environments use aggressive spot instance strategies and time-based scaling. Live game infrastructure prioritizes performance with cost optimization that never impacts players. Different strategies for different game lifecycle stages.
