Built on AWS
Aktwist Battlegrounds runs on Amazon Web Services end-to-end — from multiplayer game servers and AI inference to player accounts, global content delivery, and security.
Why We Chose AWS
Aktwist is a globally distributed, real-time multiplayer game with AI-driven systems. AWS gives us the scale, reach, and managed services to ship that without reinventing infrastructure.
Low-Latency Multiplayer
Region-aware servers and edge networking keep gameplay responsive for every player, every match.
Cloud-Native by Design
Built from day one on AWS — elastic, observable, automated, with infrastructure-as-code across every environment.
AI at the Core
Adaptive enemies, smarter matchmaking, and live tuning powered by managed AI/ML services on AWS.
Security & Trust
DDoS protection, WAF, encryption at rest and in transit, and least-privilege access by default.
The AWS Services We Run On
Each service plays a specific role in our architecture. Together they let us focus on the game, not on plumbing.
