Distribution

Edgegap’s modern, regionless orchestration platform is built from the ground up to provide a multi-tenant environment. Each studio can manage multiple productions within a single, geographically distributed, and highly available environment.

Edgegap prides itself on leveraging its patented orchestrator on the world’s first, and largest, edge network built for multiplayer game server hosting. It includes, as of writing, 615 locations worldwide across 17+ cloud and bare metal providers who are all available to deploy game servers on-demand. 

Edgegap's platform instantly distributes multiplayer games worldwide without the need for selecting regions like in traditional orchestration platforms.

AWS itself highlights that “reach [is] critical for the best player experience”, which it use to highlights “AWS infrastructure in 26 Regions and 9 Local Zones across 5 continents” on its Gamelift page as of September 2025.

What it doesn’t mention, is that all every of these locations must be purchased individually. This is a traditional “per-region” pricing. Thus, a global distribution is possible but comes at the price of every location that has to be paid.  This is in stark contrast to Edgegap’s regionless approach, where game developers have access to all 615+ locations worldwide, on-demand.

Latency

Edgegap’s platform, using its patented decision-making algorithm and the world’s largest edge network, to deploy game servers closest to users. Which enables game developers to deliver:

• Reduces players’ latency by “58% on average vs. public cloud”;

• Ensure “78% sub-50 milliseconds (i.e., "real time") latency vs. 14% for public cloud,” alongside “91% sub-100 ms latency (i.e. “sweep spot” for non-eSports multiplayer) vs. 67% for public cloud.”

Critically, this ensures a “95% improvement of players' experience” worldwide, which helps game developers ensure a  certain consistent end user experience including traditionally challenging markets such as Oceania and Asia which doesn’t always justify hosting in these markets with traditional orchestration given certain countries’ lower average revenue per user or small  population size.  

Additionally, it helps game developers avoid static, region-locked matchmaking which helps increase match quality for players.

AWS states that “latency [is] critical for the best player experience” for multiplayer games. AWS provides no further details on its performance to reduce latency.

When it comes to latency, the total number of locations is most impactful component.As stated in this article, Edgegap’s collaboration with a AAA publisher showed that, despite having the AAA studio’s large number of locations (more than what even most studios would be able to afford), by using traffic from 600,000 transactions and comparing the results with a AAA studio’s current architecture, only Edgegap demonstrated an average latency reduction from 116 milliseconds to a drastic 48 millisecond.

Scalability

Edgegap’s performance benchmark proves its orchestration can consistently scale at 40 deployments per second, sustained for 60 minutes, for a total of 14 million concurrent users (“CCU”) of players worldwide. Thanks to its patented decision-making and rapid-scaling technology. Stacking two of such instances on Edgegap’s platforms allow game developers to manage as much traffic as Fortnite had during their peak launch (100 req. per seconds).

This allows game developers using Edgegap’s orchestration to scale and ensure to succeed the biggest scaling challenge of orchestrators; namely meeting player’s demand over a short period of time such as a midnight launch, a game’s addition to a subscription service, or a “streaming sensation” overnight popularity.

AWS Gamelift promotes its capacity to “100 million concurrent users (CCU) for a single game” which it highlights how it was achieved in this February 2025 test. No one doubts AWS capacity to theoretically scale a single instance across “83,333 VMs” across its infrastructure. However, it means that developers would have to preset such a fleet capacity, and pay for every region individually, in advance, of such a scenario.

As AWS itself states, realistically that “the most popular games in the world today top out around 14 million CCU” per “Unofficial tracking data indicates.” This means that Edgegap’s 14M CCU performance benchmark is exactly the realistic scenario, and that AWS Gamelift’s 100M CCU target is a “goal metric” by their own admission. Edgegap provides this performance on a regionless network – scaling the game server worldwide automatically; meaning without having to manually managing fleets’ capacity, nor pre-purchase locations when such a spike of traffic occurs.

Resilience

Edgegap’s vast network telemetry allows it to detect issues with sites or providers, such as outages, and instantly redirect deployments across its 17+ providers across cloud and bare metal.

Edgegap’s platform has been running live 24/7 for the past six years, maintaining over 99.99% availability.

AWS Gamelift promotes 99.99% availability, and has its years-long status page of AWS to prove the infrastructure’s claim.
