Zach @determinism.dev · Jul 24 Some hasty projections: with 100 machines (each hosting a single game server process, I'm assuming 6 players/game server) + 200 machines for services (authentication, matchmaking, etc) + 100 TB MySQL database, I'm getting $35k month

100 "machines" for 100 concurrent clients? More realistic would be around 20 virtual servers. I can't imagine the game needing high specs, its a simple arena shooter. They either outsource and get ripped off, pay shit ton for anti cheat service or straight up lie
I'd really hope that your game server processes could host more than one game each (I chose c6g.xlarges for these!), and that's already capacity for 600 players: Splitgate 1 peaked at 450 players over the past 3 months - there's absolutely no need for this many boxes
