AWS Stockholm Summit 2018 - How Supercell Runs Giant Games with Tiny Teams on AWS
2018
Supercell's 20-person game teams run some of the world’s most popular titles, including Clash of Clans and Boom Beach. The teams have a high degree of autonomy over the games they build and maintain. On the Clash of Clans team, 3 server developers maintain more than 2,000 Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances and 300 MySQL databases, as well as developing the game. They achieve this with loosely coupled, well-architected microservices, using infrastructure as code to automate scaling and recovery.
Using AWS, we have a global presence and the ability to deliver our games with low latency all around the world.
