Intro
Invokation Games, an innovative gaming company, sought to modernize its infrastructure to support rapid growth and enhance operational efficiency. Facing challenges with scalability, security, and high availability, Invokation Games partnered with us to leverage Amazon Web Services (AWS). By adopting AWS’s managed services and best practices, Invokation Games achieved a scalable, secure, and highly available infrastructure, delivering an exceptional gaming experience to its users.
Objective
Customer: Invokation Games
- Enable Growth: Scale infrastructure to accommodate new customers, handle spikes in user activity from marketing campaigns, and support new services.
- Operational Excellence: Focus on developing new features rather than managing infrastructure, ensuring high availability of services.
- Lightweight Disaster Recovery: Implement a disaster recovery process leveraging Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for quick recovery from regional failures.
- Efficient Cloud Usage: Optimize costs by utilizing spot and reserved instances and serving customers from a single region.
- Security: Adhere to AWS security best practices and prepare for future compliance requirements.
- High Availability: Deploy infrastructure across multiple Availability Zones to prevent single points of failure.
Solution
We worked with our internal DevOps team and implemented a scalable architecture, replicable via Infrastructure as Code (IaC), to ensure readiness for service and customer growth. Disaster recovery facilitated the use of multiple zones. We strategically increased cloud efficiency by optimizing instance sizes to minimize data transfer costs. Account segmentation helped provide enhanced infrastructure security. To ensure high availability, any possibility of failure was anticipated and automated monitoring and configuration redundancy was implemented. CI/CD integration ensured automated deployment.
Challenges
Scalability: Ensuring the infrastructure could dynamically scale to meet fluctuating user demands and support new services.
Operational Efficiency: Reducing operational overhead by utilizing managed and serverless AWS services.
Disaster Recovery: Implementing a lightweight disaster recovery strategy without significant additional costs.
Security and Compliance: Adhering to AWS security best practices and preparing for future compliance requirements.
Benefits
Enhanced Scalability: The new infrastructure can automatically scale to handle spikes in user activity and support growth.
Operational Excellence: Reduced operational complexity by leveraging AWS managed services, allowing focus on innovation.
Improved Security: Strengthened security posture through AWS security services and adherence to best practices.
High Availability: Achieved through multi-AZ deployments and AWS’s reliable managed services.
Cost Efficiency: Optimized resource utilization with spot and reserved instances, reducing operational costs.
Disaster Recovery Preparedness: Infrastructure as Code enabled rapid recovery in case of regional outages.
Conclusion
By migrating to AWS and adopting a modern, scalable infrastructure, Invokation Games enhanced its ability to deliver high-quality gaming experiences. The partnership enabled Invokation Games to focus on innovation and growth, leveraging AWS’s robust services to meet their operational, security, and scalability requirements. This strategic move not only improved their current operations but also positioned them for future expansion.
