Gaming Solution Architecture
Fighting games have become mainstream of nowadays game genres. Running traffic facing lobby servers on App Engine to handle instance traffic with autoscaling is a practicable choice. App Engine usually accompanies with full managed Redis (Cloud Memorystore) as high speed cache layer and scalable and reliable Cloud Datastore as persistent layer to store player profiles and fighting records. Players in the same fighting group are redirected to dedicated match servers running on Compute Engine virtual machines for stateful workloads, GPU are also available in Compute Engine to accelerate computation of multiple-players or complex scenes. Many game apps leverage Firebase to synchronize states between servers and players, Firebase messaging as chat room service is also widely used. Typically, there are lots of static media files like images or videos for a game to be downloaded. Serving media files with Cloud Storage and Cloud CDN allows large amount of simultaneously downloads.
