About Amazon GameLift
Amazon GameLift is a dedicated game server hosting solution that deploys, operates, and scales cloud servers for multiplayer games. Whether you’re looking for a fully managed solution, or just the feature you need, GameLift leverages the power of AWS to deliver the best latency possible, low player wait times, and maximum cost savings. Amazon GameLift leverages the AWS global infrastructure for managing game servers. Match players into game sessions and autoscale that start one, hundreds, or even thousands of instances simultaneously, without thinking about scaling with fluctuating player demand. Game services provide basic multiplayer game support, like matchmaking, session directory, player data, and player analytics. With AWS, you can use services like AWS Lambda that provide serverless, scalable, and flexible computing, or features in services like Amazon GameLift FlexMatch, for matchmaking.
