• Global Infrastructure

Before moving to Google Cloud, applications were running on premise data centers, having a hard time serving customers around the world because of the lack of a global infrastructure. Especially when it was necessary to serve a new region, it was problematic to ensure competence in the regulations and access of that region.

• Higher SLA Times

Applications hosted on bare metal servers in the on-premise data center were limited by the uptime of those servers. Therefore, any adverse event in the on premise data center would affect the uptime of the application and cause a service outage.

• Lower Latency

Since the on-premise data center was located in a single location, it responded to customer requests from all over the world from a single center. Therefore, the response times for access from a remote location were quite long. This was creating dissatisfaction on the end-user side.

• Reducing of Maintenance and Operational Costs

All operational needs such as operating system, library, configuration, monitoring, logging, APM, etc. needed by the applications that will run on bare metal servers in the on-premise data center had to be provided and eliminated separately.

• Decreasing the Deployment Time of New Products and Features

Due to the infrastructure and operational requirements in the on-premise data center, the implementation of planned applications and new features required a much longer process than Google Cloud.

• .NET Core

MTC Games ported their applications to Docker containers using .NET Core technology. .NET Core enables applications to run across multiple platforms and offers fast deployment. Through this, MTC Games has accelerated application development processes and increased availability on more platforms.

• Docker

MTC Games created application and database containers using Docker technology. Docker allows applications and databases to be packaged and distributed independently. This gives MTCGames faster and secure deployment processes.

• Google Cloud Run

MTC Games ran their application containers on the Google Cloud Run service. Google Cloud Run is a container-based server operating environment that automatically scales and manages containers. Thanks to this, MTC Games has achieved high performance and fast response times even in high traffic situations.

• Google Cloud SQL:

MTC Games has migrated SQL Server databases to the Google Cloud SQL service. Google Cloud SQL is a manageable and high-performance cloud-based database service. MTC Games has streamlined the processes of managing databases using this service and has taken advantage of the high availability and automatic backup of databases.

• CI/CD Tools

MTC Games has automated continuous integration and deployment processes with the CI/CD tools provided by Google Cloud. This allowed MTC Games to quickly test, compile, and deploy code changes. Thanks to continuous integration and deployment, the MTC Games team was able to deliver new features and updates faster.

• Global HTTPS Load Balancer

Automatically distributing web traffic ensured high performance and fast response times. It enabled customers to have secure and uninterrupted access to the website.

• Cloud Armor

Thanks to automatic detection and anti-attack features, MTC Game's services have been able to protect against DDoS attacks and prevent service interruption.

MTCGames' move to Google Cloud enabled them to provide a fast, reliable and scalable service using modern infrastructure technologies. Thanks to this, in addition to obtaining advantages from a technical point of view, they managed to get to a more efficient and competitive position in terms of operation.

‍

• Higher Efficiency

The automated scaling and management features provided by Docker and Google Cloud enabled MTC Games to use resources more efficiently. Thanks to automatic scaling, unnecessary use of resources was prevented and there were no performance problems during periods of high traffic.

• Lower Costs

Google Cloud's scaling and pay-per-use model has enabled MTCGames to optimize costs. Unnecessary resource expenditures were avoided as infrastructure resources were scaled only when they were needed. In addition, Google Cloud has many free or low-cost services that reduce operating costs.

• Rapid Iteration and Innovation

Thanks to faster deployment processes and container-based infrastructure, MTC Games was able to deliver new features and updates faster. This has provided a great advantage to grow rapidly in a competitive gaming industry and meet user expectations.

• Reliability and High Availability

Thanks to the high availability features provided by Google Cloud, MTC Games has been able to offer a seamless service. Automatic backup and database management features enabled database operations to be carried out safely and smoothly.
