Industry Pain Points

High Concurrency Audio/Video Services During Traffic Burst

There are sometimes high concurrent requests for audio and video services in the games, causing tremendous pressure on the server. Aside from this, when new games are launched or new updates are available, it often follows high and unpredictable traffic bursts, which could overload the server. It’s challenging and costly to scale resources whenever a new release occurs.

Slow Download in The Globalization of Game Operations

The size of game downloads is increasing exponentially. Making gamers wait hours to download an update or a patch is a poor user experience. At the same time, MOBA, MMO, FPS, and other game operations are gradually globalized, and global resources are needed to support payment, updates, and social networking.

Interrupted or Lagging Experience

Lagging is gamers’ worst nightmare. Modern video games are interactive and immersive. When a game slows down, it can take the player out of the moment and cause frustration.

Distributed Players and Diversified Forms of Communication in The Interactive Games

Online games offer an environment for players to play with others worldwide. However, it’s difficult for game developers to deploy resources appropriately to ensure every player in the world has the same seamless playing experience. Game socialization has become a norm in different types of games that gradually have their unique interactive scenes. As socialization in games became more mature, the interaction between players has gradually changed from text to audio and video.
