Business concept solution for game-matchmaking, turn-based games and live broadcasting. Problem: 1. How can I implement matchmaking? 2. Dealing with a real-time turn based game is hard 3. I want to provide live watch for running games, but how?!

1. GAME PLATFORM
Real-time game server as service
01 2014

2. GAME SERVERS
 Matchmaking
 Game State
 Game Transactions

3. GAME SERVERS
Turn Based Games (TBS,
etc.)
 Near real time transactions
 No need for real-time sync (player
would be notified after each turn)
 Can be achieved by medium/high level
network programming (or even over
higher APIs)
Real time Games (RTS, etc.)
 Real-time transactions
 Server should sync data for all
simultaneously players
 Low level network programming
(Needs a great experience)

4. BACKEND AS A SERVICE (BAAS)
 “Turn-on infrastructure” for mobile apps.
 Focus on main product not on third-party services (Billing, User profile,
Leader boards, etc.).
 Focus on main product (again!) not on dealing with APIs for each
platform. (with BaaS you will deal with multiple SDKs, but single API on
each platform).
 You won’t deal with server maintaining or scaling the platform.
 Your platform is already here.
 Pay as you grow.

5. BAAS
