Real-Time Performance at Massive Scale | Francois ORSINI
Social gaming has been growing at an exponential rate and the nature of engagement and retention required for mobile makes engineering a game for this level of scale a particularly challenging proposition. In this presentation, I will discuss the aspects of Social Gaming 2.0 that present new challenges for massive scalability at real-time speed. I will also describe the core architectural components and design principles that Machine Zone has used to address these challenges and support hundreds of thousands of concurrent players in a single world instance. In addition, I will discuss emerging technologies that offer new opportunities for building cost-effective high real-time performance infrastructure.
