Game backends that survive launch day.
Multiplayer infrastructure, live-ops tooling and game services — load-tested to ten times expected concurrency, because launch day is the one you can’t afford to lose.
The servers have to be ready for the best day.
A game’s launch spike is the moment everything has been building toward and the moment most backends fail. We engineer multiplayer infrastructure and matchmaking that we load-test to ten times expected concurrency, tune netcode around real competitive latency, and build live-ops tooling so you can run events and rebalance the economy without downtime. Launch day becomes a spec you meet, not a risk you survive.
The sector, honestly.
Games have the cruellest launch curve in software: months of anticipation collapse into one spike, and if the servers buckle, the reviews are written before the bug is fixed. The backend has to be ready for the best day, not the average one.
We build game services engineered for that spike — multiplayer infrastructure load-tested to 10x expected concurrency, low-latency netcode, and the live-ops tooling to run events, economies and updates without taking the game down.
And because a live game is never finished, we build the levers — events, rewards, economy tuning — to run server-side, so you keep players engaged long after launch without shipping a client update.
Systems for gaming.
The platforms we ship most often for this sector — each scoped to a number the business actually cares about.
Multiplayer infrastructure
Matchmaking, sessions and authoritative servers with the low latency competitive play demands.
Live ops & events
Tooling to run events, seasons, rewards and economy changes without redeploying the client.
Player accounts & economy
Identity, inventory, virtual currency and purchases with the integrity an economy needs.
Scale & matchmaking
Infrastructure that absorbs a 10x launch spike and matches players fast under load.
Analytics & telemetry
Player behaviour and performance data to balance the game and catch problems live.
Backend services & APIs
Leaderboards, saves, social and store services exposed as reliable game backend APIs.
Numbers, not slideware.
Every engagement is scoped to a measurable result. The kinds of outcomes we build gaming systems to move — and hold ourselves to.
The hard parts, handled.
The principles we build by in this sector — and what each one means once the system is live.
Launch is the load test
We model your launch spike and load-test to 10x it, so the biggest day is a number we hit, not a gamble.
Latency wins or loses
Netcode and infrastructure are tuned around the latency competitive players actually feel.
Live ops without downtime
Events, economy tweaks and content drops ship server-side, so you tune the game without taking it offline.
Economy integrity
Inventory, currency and purchases are built to resist exploits, because a broken economy breaks the game.
From startups to scale.
The kinds of teams across gaming we partner with — each with different stakes, the same standard of craft.
Chosen for the problem.
Framework-agnostic, outcome-opinionated. A representative stack for gaming — the mix bends to your problem, never the reverse.
One team. Zero hand-offs.
The CODT disciplines we most often combine to build for gaming — same architecture, same engineers, no integration tax.
Questions, answered.
The things buyers in gaming ask us most. Anything else — put it in a brief, a senior engineer replies within a business day.
Can your infrastructure handle a launch spike?
We model and load-test to 10x expected concurrency, so the launch spike is engineered for rather than feared.
Do you build authoritative multiplayer netcode?
Yes — matchmaking, sessions and authoritative servers tuned for the low latency competitive play requires.
Can we run events without a client update?
Live-ops tooling lets you run events, seasons and economy changes server-side, without redeploying or taking the game down.
How do you protect the in-game economy?
Inventory, currency and purchase systems are built to resist exploits, with telemetry to catch abuse as it happens.
Do you provide backend services like leaderboards and saves?
Yes — leaderboards, cloud saves, social and store services are part of the game backend APIs we deliver.
