About
Realm is a young Web3 game company whose main product is an open-world multiplayer game

Their main product is an open-world multiplayer game. In 2021 the company came to OpsWorks Co. with a request to help them create a proof of concept infrastructure in AWS. After successfully testing the PoC, full-size production and staging environments were given the green light.

challenges

Realm faced one main challenge in their work

Beta testing readiness

The company's core application was ready to be released for beta testing. The main concern was the accessibility of the application and its components. So the team decided to use AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service, that out of the box provides high availability, cost efficiency, and has built-in mechanisms for "blue-green" deployments and rollbacks.

solutions

We found best-fit solutions for Realm’s infrastructure

//
Accessibility and scalability

To increase the availability of the application, in addition to the standard solution of having multiple replicas, we configured Horizontal POD auto scaler and cluster auto scaler, which, working together, allow the application to scale depending on the load. As a result, the infrastructure we created is able to serve almost any number of users.

//
Security improvements

The current infrastructure has not yet reached the final architecture. In the next iterations, we are going to improve infrastructure security and focus on improving the Docker image of the application, collect more business metrics from the application, and perform fine-tuning based on the feedback collected.

Why AWS

AWS benefits at a glance

//

Easy to use

AWS is designed to allow application providers, ISVs, and vendors to quickly and securely host your applications – whether an existing application or a new SaaS-based application. You can use the AWS Management Console or well-documented web services APIs to access AWS’s application hosting platform.

//

Cost-Effective

You pay only for the compute power, storage, and other resources you use, with no long-term contracts or up-front commitments. For more information on comparing the costs of other hosting alternatives with AWS, see the AWS Economics Center.

//

Flexible

AWS enables you to select the operating system, programming language, web application platform, database, and other services you need. With AWS, you receive a virtual environment that lets you load the software and services your application requires. This eases the migration process for existing applications while preserving options for building new solutions.

//

Reliable

With AWS, you take advantage of a scalable, reliable, and secure global computing infrastructure, the virtual backbone of Amazon.com’s multi-billion dollar online business that has been honed for over a decade.

//

Secure

AWS utilizes an end-to-end approach to secure and harden our infrastructure, including physical, operational, and software measures. For more information, see the AWS Security Center.

//

Scalable and high-performance

Using AWS tools, Auto Scaling, and Elastic Load Balancing, your application can scale up or down based on demand. Backed by Amazon’s massive infrastructure, you have access to compute and storage resources when you need them.
