Identity and player services
Platform sign-in, account linking, profiles, entitlements, permissions and privacy-aware player data.
GAME BACKEND
Game Backend
Identity, persistence, progression, inventory, economy, live operations and telemetry.
Services are designed for burst traffic, versioned clients, retries, valuable state and partial failure.
We build backend services for identity, progression, inventory, economy, social features, configuration and live operations. APIs are designed around game actions and valuable state, with consistency, abuse prevention and client compatibility made explicit.
Player state and game rules protected across retries, versions and failures.

We build backend services for identity, progression, inventory, economy, social features, configuration and live operations. APIs are designed around game actions and valuable state, with consistency, abuse prevention and client compatibility made explicit.
Progression and economy
Inventories, rewards, currencies, purchases and idempotent transactions with auditable state changes.
Live configuration and content
Remote settings, events, offers, content metadata and version-aware delivery with controlled rollout.
Telemetry and operator tools
Structured game events, dashboards, support actions and traceable administration for live teams.
How we design a backend around the game loop
How we design a backend around the game loop
We map player actions and state ownership before selecting services or data stores. The client contract includes retries, offline behavior, version overlap and partial failure from the beginning.
- 01
Map actions and state
Identify valuable data, consistency needs, trust boundaries, retention, expected load and operational users.
- 02
Define versioned contracts
Specify requests, events, errors, idempotency and compatibility so client and backend teams can work independently.
- 03
Build in observable slices
Deliver end-to-end features with authentication, data, telemetry and administrative needs included.
- 04
Test recovery and scale
Exercise retries, duplicate requests, dependency failure, migrations, burst traffic and rollback.

FAQ
Questions specific to this path.
Can you replace an existing backend incrementally?
Yes. We identify stable seams, introduce versioned contracts and migrate state or traffic in controlled stages where the current system permits it.
How do you prevent duplicate rewards or purchases?
Valuable operations use explicit transaction and idempotency rules, authoritative validation and an audit trail suitable for investigation.
Can our internal team operate the result?
Yes. Deployment, dashboards, runbooks, data ownership and administrative workflows are part of the agreed handover.
