Choosing the Right Components

• Environment

  We work with you to choose a runtime environment that suits your needs and that will support the planned future of your game. Working with NodeJS, Go, and Python servers, as well as serverless environments, we create custom backends to suit the needs of your games and users.

• Database & Storage

  Not all games have the same database requirements. A precise balance of speed and flexibility is helpful but a custom server introduces the freedom to include exactly what you need to get the best performance for your game. Our expert team at SuperNimbus will work with you to ensure that you have what your game needs to excel.

• Scaling & Load Testing

  Once your backend is designed, we need to make sure it can handle your players. This is especially important when you are running live-ops and promotions that can see large spikes in player numbers. We can provide load testing of your backend to ensure everything scales as expected, ensuring no downtime for your users.

• Analytics

  No matter what kind of game you are developing, insights into performance metrics are required in order to plan for the future. We will work with your team to track the KPIs that are most important to you. KPIs for both business intelligence and game development are key to successful game advancement.

• Live Ops

  We know that deploying a backend is only one part of our client’s backend needs. We will also work with your producers and designers to create service dashboards where you can update your content and run live events to promote player growth and engagement.

• Cost

  Our job is not just to ensure your custom backend can run and scale, we also aim to keep costs down. We will help you to choose the right components for your ideal game environment while balancing cost and performance.
