CHALLENGE + IMPACT
Handle game virality, scale with user demand
Social gaming and online sports betting are competitive environments. Your game must be able to handle large volumes of unpredictable traffic while simultaneously promising zero downtime. Gamers expect to play whenever they want, for as long as they want, and have no tolerance for delays or lag. At the heart of any successful game is a database that maintains 100% uptime, scales in real time to handle millions of users or more, and provides users a responsive and personalized experience across all of their devices.

Network infrastructure and connectivity
Online gaming relies on network connectivity, solving for data access when the network becomes unstable is critical
Content management and updates
Balancing the need for timely updates with minimizing disruptions to the player experience is crucial
