How Yanhuang Helped Osstable Modernize Its Gaming Platform on AWS for Global Player Reach
Yanhuang helped Osstable define its migration and modernization path from Alibaba Cloud to AWS for a next-generation MMORPG platform, designing a scalable and resilient AWS architecture to improve global performance, availability, observability, and compliance readiness.
Customer Overview
Osstable is a Malaysia-based technology company focused on online entertainment and digital interactive experiences. The company is expanding its overseas cloud infrastructure to support high availability, low latency, and global reach for next-generation MMORPG services across Southeast Asia and other international markets.
Business Challenge
Osstable was migrating the backend of its flagship online role-playing game from Alibaba Cloud Malaysia Region to AWS:
- Growing concurrency and performance demands from global players
- The need for low-latency regional access in Asia and beyond
- Stronger security and data compliance requirements
- Better observability, automation, and operational maturity needed
- Technical debt from legacy or self-managed infrastructure
Solution Architecture
Architecture Overview
This architecture is designed to support a modern gaming platform on AWS with high availability, low latency, and scalable backend services for global player traffic. Core gaming services run on Amazon EKS across multiple Availability Zones, while managed database, caching, analytics, and observability components provide stronger resilience, faster scaling, and better operational control for real-time game workloads.
Technical Highlights
- Multi-AZ deployment for resilience and service continuity
- Amazon EKS for scalable game backend and platform services
- Amazon Aurora / Amazon RDS for transactional and player-related data workloads
- Amazon ElastiCache for Redis for session, ranking, and low-latency cache scenarios
- Amazon EMR and Amazon Kinesis for telemetry, analytics, and real-time data processing
- Amazon CloudFront for faster global game content delivery and lower player latency
- Centralized observability and security services for monitoring, audit, and protection
Key Benefits
- Improves service availability for critical gaming workloads
- Supports concurrency growth with scalable cloud infrastructure
- Enhances player experience through lower latency and better delivery performance
- Reduces operational burden through managed AWS services
- Strengthens platform resilience, visibility, and long-term global readiness
