Montréal & Ottawa, Canada (August 14, 2024) – Edgegap, gaming’s leading provider of automated and distributed game server orchestration, and brainCloud, the most flexible cloud-based back-end services platform for multiplayer games, are excited to announce an extension of their collaboration with an all-new seamless integration for multiplayer game studios. This collaboration promises to offer game developers the easiest and most reliable way to add, scale and maintain game services and server hosting, backed by hundred of millions of hours played on their respective platform.
Specifically, the integration allows game developers to use Edgegap’s game server orchestration directly from brainCloud’s developer portal, with dedicated server examples to ensure an easy integration process. Part of brainCloud’s 5.4 update, developers already using brainCloud’s room/relay server system will be able to define an Edgegap server type and link it directly to their existing Lobby configurations.
“We are thrilled to partner with brainCloud and bring our combined strengths to game developers worldwide,” said Philip Coté, CTO of Edgegap. “This collaboration enables us to provide a seamless and efficient solution for multiplayer game development, ensuring developers can focus on what they do best – creating fun, amazing games.”
“Partnering with Edgegap aligns perfectly with our mission to empower game developers with the best tools and services,” said Paul Winterhalder, Chief Product Officer of brainCloud. “Together, we are setting a new standard for multiplayer game deployment and management, delivering unparalleled performance and reliability.”
Edgegap’s platform is designed to be user-friendly and fully managed, eliminating the need for a dedicated operations team, and making it adaptable for projects of all sizes. The platform offers a free tier and a pay-as-you-scale pricing model. Additionally, its patented orchestration on the world’s largest edge network allows for region-less hosting, latency reduction of up to 58%1, and removes the need for traditional DevOps.
