How Nodecraft Built a Scalable Game Server Platform with Cloudflare and Neon
Blog post from Neon
Nodecraft, a game server hosting platform, has transitioned from traditional infrastructure to a serverless architecture using Cloudflare Workers and Neon to enhance scalability and performance for its multiplayer game servers. By adopting this architecture, Nodecraft has reduced latency and operational overhead, allowing for efficient global operations and easy database management with Postgres in a serverless setup. The use of Hyperdrive for caching has further optimized database query times, improving responsiveness. Additionally, Neon’s branching feature enables quick development and isolated testing environments, providing flexibility for development and live demonstrations. This transformation allows Nodecraft to better meet the unique configuration needs of over 30 different games, catering to a diverse player base worldwide.
