Why Choose This Project?

Online multiplayer games require low-latency, scalable, and highly available servers to support multiple concurrent players. Google Cloud Game Servers (based on Agones and Kubernetes) allows developers to deploy, scale, and manage game servers efficiently in the cloud.

This project is ideal for students to learn cloud-based gaming infrastructure, containerized server deployment, and auto-scaling mechanics.

What You Get

Fully managed, scalable multiplayer game server
Support for multiple concurrent players and game sessions
Auto-scaling based on player demand
Real-time synchronization of game state

GCP Services Used

GCP Service	Purpose
GCP Game Servers	Deploy, scale, and manage multiplayer game servers
Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)	Orchestration of containerized game server instances
Cloud Firestore / SQL	Store player data, game state, and leaderboard information
Cloud Monitoring / Logging	Monitor server performance, latency, and health
Cloud Pub/Sub	Optional messaging system for real-time events
Firebase Auth	Player authentication and access management

Working Flow

Game Server Deployment
Dockerized game server instances are deployed on GCP Game Servers via Kubernetes clusters.
Player Connection
Players connect to the matchmaking service or directly to the nearest available server.
Real-Time Game Synchronization
Game state is synchronized across all connected players via server logic and messaging.
Auto-Scaling
GCP Game Servers monitor player load and scale server instances up or down automatically.
Data Persistence
Player progress, stats, and leaderboards are updated in Cloud Firestore or Cloud SQL.
Monitoring & Alerts
Cloud Monitoring tracks server performance, latency, and errors; unhealthy instances are replaced automatically.
