Project description
The client is a fast-growing social games platform made by the creators of Yahoo! Games and backed by early investors of WhatsApp. They’ve built multiplayer games and chat platforms from scratch using Golang, GRPC, AWS Fargate, Postgres, and Redis in micro-service-oriented architecture. Games are built in-house using web technologies (TypeScript, WebGL).
They have over 40 million players who spend more than 1 billion minutes in their app every month. The client made a daring move and completely removed ads from the app, so the players can enjoy an ad-free experience.
