Azure DocumentDB lets game developers build scalable platforms for seamless player experiences. Its low-latency, multiple-regionally distributed data model supports real-time gameplay, leaderboards, and social features.
Gaming companies use Azure DocumentDB to support millions of concurrent users, enable cross-region play, and quickly add new features without infrastructure limits.
Scenarios
Azure DocumentDB is ideal for several gaming scenarios, like:
Real-time multiplayer game state management
A fast, scalable database lets you manage game state for thousands of concurrent players. Azure DocumentDB stores player sessions, game events, and matchmaking data to keep gameplay consistent and responsive.
A typical solution uses Azure DocumentDB for state storage, Azure SignalR Service for real-time communication, and Azure Kubernetes Service for scalable backend processing.
Global leaderboards and social features
Games often have leaderboards and social interactions that need rapid updates and global availability. Azure DocumentDB lets you store and query scores, achievements, and friend lists efficiently.
A typical architecture uses Azure DocumentDB for leaderboard data, Azure Functions for event-driven updates, and Azure Front Door for multiple-regional distribution and low-latency access.
