About the Project
A innovative Web3 gaming company specializing in open-world multiplayer games. Seeking to establish a scalable and cost-efficient infrastructure, successfully delivered a proof of concept (PoC) infrastructure in AWS, leading to the approval of full-scale production and staging environments. The solution adheres to the six pillars of the AWS Well-Architected framework: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, cost-optimization, and sustainability.
Goals of the Project
Create a Scalable and Cost-Efficient AWS Infrastructure for Web3 Multiplayer Game.
Challenge
The primary challenge was ensuring the availability of the application and its components for beta testing. we aim to build a scalable and cost-effective infrastructure, prioritizing the AWS Well-Architected framework. To address availability concerns, AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) was chosen for its inherent high availability, cost efficiency, and built-in mechanisms for blue-green deployments and roll-backs. Additional measures included configuring Horizontal POD auto-scaler and cluster auto-scaler, facilitating automatic scaling based on application load. The resulting infrastructure ensures the capability to serve virtually any quantity of users.
