Playpute

Servers that start when players do.

Playpute boots a dedicated server the moment a player enters a queue. When the session ends, it shuts down completely — you pay for exactly what you use and nothing more.

Zero cold start

Servers are pre-warmed and ready to accept connections in milliseconds. Players never stare at a loading screen waiting for infrastructure.

< 50ms boot

Scales to zero

No players, no cost. Servers shut down automatically between sessions — idle infrastructure is never billed.

Usage-based

Demand-driven scaling

Player queues drive provisioning. As more players queue, more servers spin up automatically to meet demand without manual configuration.

Matchmaking hooks

Playpute integrates directly with your matchmaking logic. Emit a queue event and Playpute handles the rest — server allocation, player routing, and session handoff.

Session lifecycle management

Full control over session start, pause, and termination events. Hook into any lifecycle stage to save state, run analytics, or trigger downstream systems.

Global edge regions

Servers spin up in the region closest to your players. Automatic geo-routing keeps latency low regardless of where in the world your players are.

30+ regions

Hardware profiles

Choose from compute-optimised profiles tuned for FPS games, open-world simulations, or turn-based logic — right-size your server for every game mode.

Isolated environments

Every session runs in its own isolated container. No shared memory, no cross-session leakage, and full audit logs per session.
