Overview

AccelByte Multiplayer Servers (AMS) is a dedicated server orchestration platform for multiplayer games that automates provisioning, scaling, deployment, and management of global game server fleets. Designed for developers, AMS reduces infrastructure complexity by managing dedicated servers on cloud, bare metal, or hybrid environments, providing low-latency gameplay, elastic autoscaling based on player demand, and real-time observability—all without heavy server architecture expertise.

Features and Capabilities

• **Core Server Orchestration: **AMS automates provisioning, scaling, deployment, and lifecycle management for dedicated game servers across regions to ensure smooth, low-latency gameplay and cost optimization.
• **Developer Integration: **Easy setup with lightweight SDKs for Unity, Unreal, and custom engines, enabling server orchestration integration with minimal code changes.
• Hybrid Cloud & Bare Metal Support: Deploy servers on public cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) and bare metal, mixing environments to balance cost, performance, and predictability of workloads.
• **Elastic Autoscaling: **Automatically scales server fleets up or down based on real-time player demand across multiple global regions, lowering infrastructure costs.
• **Pre-Warmed Server Buffers: **Maintains a pool of ready-to-use dedicated servers so sessions start instantly without cold-start delays.
• **Real-Time Observability: **Built-in dashboards track server health, usage metrics, performance data, alerts, and cost breakdowns for proactive operations.
• **Flexible Backend Compatibility: **AMS can be used standalone or with AccelByte Gaming Services (AGS), supporting custom backend integration.
• **Global Footprint: **Multi-region hosting enables dedicated server deployment close to players to reduce latency and improve match quality.
