How it works
With our technology game studios can establish a ECS cluster with the Elastic Containers Service (ECS), AWS
Aurora for Postgres, and utilize Cloudwatch Logging/Monitoring to deploy multiple game projects across
availability zones as a highly scalable and performant game server stack.
This deployment leverages the elastic scalability of the Amazon Web Services compute layer to achieve cost
effective scale for games of all types and which target different devices and software platforms.
