By using Amazon Cognito, we can create and deploy cross-platform games faster without the need to manage backend infrastructure."

Keith Pichelman
CEO, Concrete Software

The Challenge

  • Previous platform-specific solutions made it difficult to synchronize game content across multiple operating systems and devices.
  • Creating and managing a backend infrastructure was both time consuming and costly.

Why Amazon Web Services

  • The company uses Amazon Cognito to save user data and synchronize the latest game-state across devices and platforms without having to manage backend infrastructure.
  • The company uses Amazon Cognito to identify and manage identities for logged-in users and unauthenticated guests.

The Benefits

  • Simplified development: Concrete Software can save data in the cloud for cross-platform distribution without creating a separate backend infrastructure for each platform.
  • Improved user identity management: using Amazon Cognito makes it easy for the company to transition a user profile from guest to authenticated while maintaining a unique identifier and merging the profile data.
  • Extended Single Sign-On services: By using Amazon Cognito, Concrete Software can more easily provide its customers with in-game authentication options for major social logins (e.g., Facebook Login), OpenID Connect, and its own custom authentication service.
  • Improved Security: Concrete Software can now allow its app to securely access other Amazon Web Services (AWS) by making it simple to use temporary credentials.
