Launch Reliability as a Service for Game Studios
Confidential – For Studio & Platform Decision-Makers
Whether you're releasing a new title, migrating platforms, or rolling out major infrastructure changes, launch events are risky.
Most failures are preventable but aren't discovered until it's too late.
Internal DevOps teams are focused on building and integration, not stress testing.
Test environments are fragile, inconsistent, or incomplete.
Infra failures cost more than money: they cost momentum, trust and visibility.
Lost revenue from downtime
Player confidence eroded
Marketing impact wasted
Simulate real-world loads
Test sudden player influxes
Expose cascading system issues
Prevent launch day disasters
LaunchGuard is purpose-built to validate infrastructure under stress during release, migration, and scale events. We simulate production-scale traffic, concurrency surges and failure chains to expose risks no traditional QA system catches.
Ensure your infrastructure can handle day-one player loads
Auth rewrite, DB replatform, CI/CD upgrade
Maintain consistent player experience across all services
Handle sudden traffic spikes and multi-platform support
Expanding your game to new territories
Integrating new systems with existing infrastructure
Changing how your game is deployed
These changes can be as impactful as a public product launch – yet are often under-tested. In fast-moving teams, staging rarely mirrors prod – and infrastructure drift introduces hidden risks.
LaunchGuard identifies failure points before they surface in production, whether that launch is for players or your platform team.
Infra inventory, scaling posture, CI/CD evaluation, risk map.
30-60-90 day roadmap prioritized by scale, blast radius, cost to fix.
Clone environments, automate tests, simulate concurrency, run drills.
Monitoring & Dashboards: We build custom views using Cloudwatch, Grafana, or whatever you're already using – layering in Error-Traffic-Latency-Saturation baselines and failure markers. No SaaS dependency.
Add-ons: SRE on-call overlay, live deployment support, post-incident debriefs.
Latency, traffic, system load, error rates
Tied to alerts, owners, and response flows

"No fires, nothing exploding, zero failures. Not only did they identify numerous failure modes during the Load Testing contract that prevented what would have been some pretty catastrophic failures on day 1, they left us the (bespoke) tooling they developed, so we can continue to execute pushbutton loadtest runs in the future. A-grade service: most boring global launch day ever"
Successfully helped the client through the full plan-implement-test-deploy cycle, to bring their gen-1 sovereign web infra that was falling over at 5k requests / min to a deployed gen-2 that happily processes sustained loads of 10k reqs/min and eats up spikes to 20 without breaking a sweat. All with very minimal additional infra expenditure.
Implement quick wins that immediately saved 30% on cloud spend without otherwise affecting services, and then transitioned legacy internal auth systems (a spiderweb) to a centrally managed SSO setup plugged into all the things - with minimal employee impact and no downtime.
We price core work by milestone, but offer hourly escalation and response coverage when your team needs immediate help.
