Single instance Namazu Elements game backend platform. All servers run on EC2 instance. No infrastructure setup required.
Overview
Namazu Elements is a complete game backend-as-a-service platform built on Java 21 with an open-source, modular architecture. The Single Instance offering provides the fastest path to production for development teams, early-stage prototypes, and small-to-medium scale games that don't require high-availability infrastructure. This AMI comes preconfigured and optimized, ready to run immediately on your AWS instance. Simply launch it with your preferred EC2 instance size, and you have a fully functional game backend with authentication, player data management, matchmaking, and cross-game services built in. As your game scales, migrate seamlessly to our distributed multi-instance architecture without rewriting code. What's Included:
- Preconfigured, production-ready Namazu Elements runtime
- Integrated MongoDB database on the same instance
- All core services: auth, metagame, player progression, matchmaking
- Ready for immediate development and testing
- Clear migration path to larger deployments
Best For:
- Game development studios evaluating Namazu Elements
- Rapid prototyping and MVP validation
- Early-stage indie and mobile games
- Development and staging environments
- Proof-of-concept deployments

Pricing
Pricing is based on actual usage, with charges varying according to how much you consume. Subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled any time.
Additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. Use the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate your infrastructure costs.
Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
t3.medium | $0.81 |
t3.small | $0.81 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for a single running instance of Namazu Elements, a backend server platform for connected games. Pricing is usage-based, so charges accrue only while your instance runs. You choose between two compute sizes: t3.small and t3.medium. These represent EC2 instance types with different amounts of CPU and memory. The t3.medium offers more compute capacity than the t3.small, and you select the size that fits your workload. Both options bill on the same hourly structure, differing only in the underlying instance size and its hourly rate.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each instance runs a single Namazu Elements backend, including the API, database, admin CMS, and support for custom server-side code. The t3.small and t3.medium are EC2 compute sizes differing in CPU and memory. You pick the size matching your game's expected load and player traffic.
Hourly software charges accrue only while the instance runs. A stopped instance does not accrue software charges, though underlying AWS storage fees may still apply. Switching between t3.small and t3.medium is a manual choice, not automatic. You select the size when you launch the instance.
The instance includes a full backend with its own database, so a local or bundled deployment does not require a separate database subscription. Elements also supports connecting to an external database if you prefer to manage that layer yourself. Both options work with the same hourly instance.

Namazu Elements - Light
Overview This listing delivers a fully automated, production-ready deployment via AWS CloudFormation. Launching the template provisions all required infrastructure from scratch — no manual networking setup, no exposed SSH ports, and no external dependencies to wire together. What Gets Deployed The CloudFormation stack creates a complete, isolated environment:
VPC & Networking — A dedicated VPC with public and private subnets across availability zones, internet gateway, NAT gateway, and appropriately scoped security groups. EC2 Instance — The AMI is launched into a private subnet with no direct public internet exposure, reducing your attack surface. Application Load Balancer (ALB) — An internet-facing ALB sits in the public subnets and forwards HTTP traffic to the instance, providing a single stable entry point with health checking built in. AWS Systems Manager (SSM) — The instance is configured with the SSM Agent and the necessary IAM role, enabling secure shell access via Session Manager without opening inbound ports or managing SSH keys.
Key Benefits
Minimal operational overhead — The entire stack is defined as infrastructure-as-code, making it repeatable, auditable, and easy to tear down. Security by default — The instance is unreachable from the internet directly; all access is mediated through the ALB (HTTP) or SSM (administrative). No bastion host required — SSM Session Manager replaces traditional jump boxes, eliminating a common operational burden and security risk. Ready to customise — CloudFormation parameters allow you to adjust instance type, VPC CIDR ranges, and other settings at deploy time to suit your environment.
CloudFormation Template (CFT)
AWS CloudFormation templates are JSON or YAML-formatted text files that simplify provisioning and management on AWS. The templates describe the service or application architecture you want to deploy, and AWS CloudFormation uses those templates to provision and configure the required services (such as Amazon EC2 instances or Amazon RDS DB instances). The deployed application and associated resources are called a "stack."
Version release notes
Updated to use Elements v3.8.13 Added ExternalBaseUrl variable to CF as convenience

Usage instructions
Prerequisites An active AWS account with sufficient IAM permissions to create VPC resources, EC2 instances, Auto Scaling Groups, and CloudFormation stacks. If you are new to CloudFormation, AWS offers a Getting Started with CloudFormation guide covering the basics before you proceed.
Step 1: Subscribe On the AWS Marketplace listing page, click Subscribe and accept the terms. Subscription is free to process and simply grants your AWS account access to the AMI used by this product.
Step 2: Launch the CloudFormation Stack Once subscribed, click Launch on the subscription page. This will open the AWS CloudFormation console with the template pre-loaded and ready to deploy.
Step 3: Configure the Stack Fill out the CloudFormation parameters. The defaults are suitable for most deployments, but you may wish to review and adjust:
VPC CIDR range: if the default conflicts with existing VPCs or peering requirements in your account. Instance types: to right-size compute for your expected workload.
All other parameters can be left at their defaults for a standard deployment.
Step 4: Deploy Acknowledge the IAM capability prompt at the bottom of the CloudFormation console (the stack creates IAM roles for SSM access) and click Create Stack. Deployment typically completes within 5-10 minutes.
Step 5: Access the Application Once the stack status shows CREATE_COMPLETE, open the Outputs tab in the CloudFormation console. The ALBAddress output contains the URL to access your running application as well as the SecretManager secret containing the initial admin user/pass
Administrative Access If you need shell access to any instance, use AWS Systems Manager Session Manager via the EC2 console or AWS CLI. No SSH keys or open inbound ports are required. Instances are not publicly accessible directly.
