2M CCU? Completed it, mate.

As a game developer, building a truly scalable backend can be a real challenge, one that even AAA studios can struggle with. Massive player spikes during launch (hopefully!) or a popular Twitch streamer playing your game can increase the load on your services by multiple orders of magnitude, leaving you struggling to scale everything out quickly enough, resulting in poor player experience and negative sentiment. Heroic Labs Nakama is a game backend-as-a-service (BaaS) which runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS) that helps solve this problem. Offering key game backend functionality out of the box -- like player authentication, real-time chat, leaderboards, clans, and multiplayer functionality -- it's built to scale so you can concentrate on just making your game great. Read about how Nakama on Heroic Cloud was recently load tested by Code Wizards to two million concurrently connected users -- the highest known test of a commercially available game backend -- on the AWS for Games blog here: https://lnkd.in/eyHd_Q7U #gametech #aws #cloud #gaming #backend

💥 Code Wizards load tested Heroic Labs' Nakama game open-source server to a massive 2 million concurrent players using AWS. Read the new blog to see how the company leveraged scalable AWS services to simulate these incredible workloads across real-world scenarios: https://go.aws/3Y50vNq #GameDev #AWS #APN

A massive thank you to AWS for Games, and Nathan Broadbent from Invincibles Studio, who joined Christopher Molozian in a fireside chat at the 'Innovate Games at Scale on AWS' event. Nathan said a couple of things that properly smacked us in the face, "Hiro, from Heroic Labs, has saved us 12 months" and "Using Nakama, Hiro and Satori means we can just focus on the game experience" 🎉 🎉 We love it when we enable our customers to focus on their games and not the gametech. Invincibles have just released Soccer Manager 2025 which you can find here https://lnkd.in/eFt42vBR Thanks again Matthew Hatherly Marius Miginis Tristan Greaves Rajeev Saxena Prashant Narula Sam Notowitz Aaron Pulkka Shayan S.
