Gaming Apps

If you are in the business of building social games, you understand the importance of speed to market for new game concepts and the challenges of managing IT through a game’s life cycle. You also understand that game players can be fickle with favorites changing from week to week – meaning your application traffic can fluctuate widely. The time of day, seasonality, promotions, popularity, and viral success can all drive unexpected volumes. While you can anticipate and plan for some dynamic change, few of us guess right all the time. As a result, maximizing the economies of your application during cycles of runaway success all the way through end of life is crucial.
