HUAWEI CLOUD escorts the whole process of "Wandering Ark" for the first time, creating a popular brand

Abstract: HUAWEI CLOUD assisted Ranmao Studio's "Wandering Ark" to launch 0Bug smoothly, resisting 3 waves of large traffic in 3 days, and creating a new game with popular reputation.

On August 8, the first product "Wandering Ark" of Shenzhen Ranmao Studio (hereinafter referred to as Ranmao Studio) was launched for one month.HUAWEI CLOUD and HUAWEI terminal cloud services escort the whole process to help create popular models!

"Wandering Ark" is a doomsday wasteland-style catapult strategy mobile game. The core gameplay is to simulate physical collisions, like a surreal billiards. Players control heroes (balls) to collide with enemies to cause damage.The game was launched on July 8, and it reached the first place in the free list on the day of its launch. The first-day turnover exceeded 10 million, and the first week’s turnover exceeded 30 million, which attracted widespread attention in the industry.

HUAWEI CLOUD has been stationed on site since mid-May, providing escort services for the launch of "Wandering Ark" from service testing, stress testing, security protection and re-protection.It is of great significance to be referenced and replicated.

Prepare for a rainy day and eliminate risks with a hundred Checklist checks

On the day of the game's launch, the performance pressure is high and the server is explosive. Before the game's launch, HUAWEI CLOUD conducts a comprehensive inspection of the operating system, server, client and the cloud services behind it based on hundreds of checklists to eliminate risks and ensureThe resources of "Wandering Ark" are reliable and stable during the launch and operation period.

Identification of hidden dangers, 150W daily active pressure test to prevent explosions

There are usually a large number of users registering and logging in on the day the game is launched, which can easily cause the login server to crash and affect the user's game experience.In addition, Ranmao Studio cannot accurately estimate the number of users that will influx on the first day of launch, is uncertain about the pressure-bearing capacity of the current server in the game login scene, and cannot determine how many nodes need to be deployed in the service cluster.

HUAWEI CLOUD combined with HUAWEI Terminal Cloud Stress Test Service to perform a 150w daily stress test on the TPS, CPU usage and other indicators of the "Wandering Ark" login server in advance. For the 2000TPS part of the login scenario that appeared in the first stress test, some requests timed out and no return was received., the CPU usage of the node is 100%, and some Redis middleware nodes have problems such as abnormal restarts. Through code optimization and cluster expansion, 2000 TPS is prepared to help the game prepare in advance, and smoothly overcome the impact of large traffic on the first day of launch, and achieve 0Bug smooth online.

Prescribe the right medicine, login + game double server protection is a coup

Game companies are usually one of the targets of hackers, and their actions will cause huge losses to game companies.

In order to ensure the smooth launch of "Wandering Ark", the game login side adopts the most powerful DDoS platinum version of HUAWEI CLOUD, and the maximum protection bandwidth can reach 1.5T.An exclusive WAF with exclusive back-end access resources and excellent performance, and achieves high reliability of dual WAF.The game server adopts the DDoS professional version with mature and stable performance and excellent cost performance.All security policies are configured by Ranmao developers, operation and maintenance personnel, and HUAWEI Cloud back-end security experts, and complete supporting measures such as logging, monitoring, alarming, and host security.

Within three days of the game's launch, HUAWEI CLOUD's security protection solution helped "Wandering Ark" successfully resist three waves of high-traffic attacks.In addition, after the game goes online, the Huawei Cloud expert team provides re-maintenance support, routine inspections + on-site support, 7*24 hours of rapid response, special personnel to take care of important resources, and fast closed-loop on-site problems, escorting the stable and safe operation of the game.

Technological applications such as artificial intelligence, 5G, and cloud computing are triggering a new round of industrial R&D innovation. The high-speed and convenient network infrastructure and the popularization of 5G terminals have solved the bottleneck of game traffic. The golden age for the development of the game industry has come.Through the cloud-cloud collaboration with Huawei Terminal Cloud, HUAWEI CLOUD provides game companies with an integrated solution that runs through the entire game life cycle, from "underlying basic cloud facilities" to "upper-level industry applications", helping game companies to launch high-quality games smoothly and promoting games.Industrial Development.
