Our client depends on many AWS cloud applications to run its multiplayer games. With growing franchises having garnered millions of players and a business model that depends on low latency and high uptime gaming experiences to maximize revenue, our client saw the need to:
Bring on external resources with AWS expertise to achieve a performance engineering throughput consistent with the needs of its game studios.
Gain a better understanding of how its applications will perform at scale for millions of users.
Detect and mitigate bottlenecks prior to game releases and minimize bottlenecks for existing games.
