How to deploy a game in Overcast

In this third article in the series dedicated to Overcast, the cloud solution for SmartFoxServer 2X, we will focus on the deployment of your games onto a cloud server.

White paper: SmartFoxServer 2X and Hazelcast integration

Filetype-PdfWe have a new white paper available for download in our documentation website, called “SmartFoxServer 2X and Hazelcast integration“.

This is an advanced paper discussing how to integrate an in-memory data grid with multiple SmartFoxServer instances to create a fault tolerant system. The paper takes our classic Tris game example and explores ways of scaling it horizontally with multiple servers and a centralized data store.

Additionally we discuss ways to tackle the load balancing and how to restart interrupted games.

We highly recommend that you’re already familiar with how the Tris game example works and also with out previous paper, SmartFoxServer 2X Server Architecture.
