Large scale multiplayer gaming with open source
summary
Open source matchmaker Open Match and game server orchestrator Agones run on Kubernetes to replace bespoke systems. Demo injects 70,000 players and shows raising concurrency from 2 to 20 increases throughput from ~26 to ~168 players/sec. Agones manages fleets (example scaled to 200 ready servers), allocates servers atomically with IP/port for direct client UDP connections, supports C++/Node/Rust SDKs, hooks to auto scalers, and runs across clouds so matchmaking through allocation to play works end to end.
