Help build the next chapter of the web

We're not just filling seats. We're building a team that will write the next chapter of the internet.

Gaming Infrastructure

Keep the game online. No matter what hits it.

Every live game faces the same test: more players, more regions, more attacks, more updates. Give your team infrastructure built for the endgame, not just the launch.

What works at launch won't
carry you through the endgame

More players mean more compute. More reach means new regions. And a game worth playing is a game worth attacking.

Bare Metal
Give game servers room to perform

Give game servers room to perform

Run latency-sensitive game servers on hardware built for one tenant, yours. Get the predictable performance that comes from never sharing CPU, memory, or network capacity with anyone else.

Scale the backend without overbuilding

Scale the backend without overbuilding

Add capacity to matchmaking, APIs, and player services as demand grows, then scale it back once it doesn't. Keep the services around your game running without paying to stay at peak year-round.

DDoS Protection
Take the hit so your players don't

Take the hit so your players don't

Route attack traffic through Gcore's mitigation layer and keep clean traffic moving to your game servers. Protect infrastructure, with GRE/BGP routing and protocol-aware policies built for real game traffic.

Gcore Solutions: Gaming infrastructure, servers and DDoS protection

Run the game from home base

Scale game servers and backend services on
dedicated capacity as demand grows

Keep the supply line open

Move patches, DLC, and updates to players
 without stalling at the origin.

Hold the front line

Stop attacks and bot abuse before
they reach your game

Take full control. Don't be a spectator.

Plan capacity, automate the busywork, and see exactly what's running, without waiting on a ticket.

PLAN 

01

Reserve capacity before you need it

Line up Bare Metal capacity before launch, regional expansion, or a major update hits.

AUTOMATE

02

Cut out the need for manual clicks

Manage infrastructure through Terraform, API, and CLI; changes ship as code, not clicks.

MONITOR

03

See what's running and what it cost

Track usage, spend, and changes
across projects with audit logs and cost reports.

SUPPORT

04

 Get architecture help when it matters

Talk to a Gcore engineer for capacity planning, scaling, or migration
decisions.

Never short on capacity
 No manual bottlenecks
Nothing hidden in your bill
Never stuck waiting on support

Every scenario. One infrastructure.

Every live game hits pressure differently. The stack behind it doesn't have to change every time.
