Edgegap Integration

Edgegap is a cloud-based game server hosting platform that provides low-latency, globally distributed game servers. Edgegap Integration Kit allows you to seamlessly integrate Edgegap's hosting services with your EOS-powered game.

Infrastructure & Performance

• Global Deployment: 550+ edge locations across major cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)
• Ultra-Low Latency: Sub-50ms connections for competitive gameplay
• Auto-Scaling: Dynamic server scaling based on player demand with intelligent load balancing
• Container-Based: Lightweight deployment with efficient resource usage
• Personal Experience: We have completely moved to Edgegap, not only for our personal projects, but also all contract projects, because the low cost compared to GameLift and Playfab + the speed of deployment, it takes less then 2 seconds for cached servers to boot up, which is just phenomenal.

EdgeGap Integration Kit

We have made a plugin, which is sponsored by the Edgegap Team, which makes integrating with Edgegap a few minutes work :D

The plugin is available for free at :

• Fab - https://www.fab.com/listings/ff17ad88-12a1-49cf-9a41-31695ed11e16 (opens in a new tab)

Integration with EGIK

Integrating EGIK with EIK is pretty straightforward

1. Setup EOS Dedicated Servers as per this doc (opens in a new tab)
2. Setup Edgegap Integration kit using, either this video (opens in a new tab) or this doc (opens in a new tab)
3. Finally, deploy the servers on the Edgegap platform, and you should be able to connect.

Important Notes

1. There are three ways to use EGIK + EOS:

• first is either you make a dedicated server, deploy a server using the Edgegap's website and connect to the IP or use the Find EIK Sessions (if you made a session on the dedicated server, so this means you need the server to be running to create a EOS Session). This is the easiest and straightforward usage.
• Second is you use the Edgegap's API to deploy a server (available in EGIK too), this is a better option if you want to find, join and create dedicated servers directly. We have covered this approach in this video (opens in a new tab)
• Third is you use the Edgegap's Matchmaker, which scales the server as and when required and you can have one of the best matchmaking solutions. We have covered this approach in this video (opens in a new tab)

2. You can also use Team Matchmaking (opens in a new tab) and Backfills (opens in a new tab), as in that place, EOS will be used as the NetDriver only.
