A good fit for
- Multiplayer game studios needing global, scalable, and cost-effective dedicated game server orchestration without vendor lock-in.
- Studios wanting to avoid egress fees and reduce operational overhead with no SDK or middleware in their game servers.
Know the limitations
- No SDK or lifecycle hooks are included in the game server, so custom in-server orchestration code is not supported.
- Currently, Pragma Engine integration documentation is coming soon, indicating limited immediate support.
What you can do
- Hosting multiplayer game servers with global deployment and automatic scaling for launch spikes and player surges.
- Migrating from other game server platforms like AWS GameLift, Hathora, or Multiplay to reduce costs and avoid vendor lock-in.
Features
- Sub-second container start time (~0.5 seconds) for game sessions.
- No SDK required in the game server binary; uses Docker containers for deployment.
- Multi-provider failover to maintain session continuity if one provider fails.
- Matchmaker-agnostic; supports Nakama, Pragma, AccelByte, PlayFab, FlexMatch, or custom matchmakers.
- Warm pools feature to keep pre-started sessions in reserve for near-zero startup time.
