What It Costs
Reserved Private Fleet capacity carries the optimal cost-effective load of deployments; Edge Cloud absorbs overflow on demand. Most studios run both.

Customer Results
Outcomes measured on customer traffic, and the studios behind them.
Latency reduction
Replays of two studios’ live traffic measured average round-trip time reductions of 46.5% and 58% when relays were placed at the edge instead of in the public cloud.
Session fill rate
Average session fill rate of 91% across one studio's matchmaking traffic in Q2 2025. Fill rate is the share of a game server's player capacity occupied by active players, averaged over a session's full lifespan, and varies by game and matchmaker configuration. This figure describes one title, not a platform average.

How We Measure
One entry per metric: what is measured, how, and over what window.
Global Edge Cloud locations
A location is a distinct deployment target: one datacenter site at one of our infrastructure providers, in which a game server container can be scheduled on demand. Sites are counted once each regardless of how many providers operate in the same metro, and count only while accepting deployments.
Back to the metric ↑Private Fleet locations
Counted separately from the 615+ Edge Cloud locations, which are on-demand cloud capacity: a Private Fleet location is a site where a studio reserves hosts for its exclusive use. Published live on the Fleet Manager page. Each Private Fleet host includes 6 TB of egress per month.
Back to the metric ↑Game server deployments to date
Counted as total deployment records since February 2019, including deployments that failed to start, the same basis our competitors use.
Back to the metric ↑Server deployment time
From cold start: provisioned from scratch, not allocated onto an already-running server. Measured to container ready, before the game engine starts.
Back to the metric ↑Sustained deployment rate for each game
The orchestrator started real game server containers continuously for 60 minutes, averaging 40 started deployments per second over the full hour, counted at deployment start rather than at ready state. Measured across 550+ locations and 17 providers in November 2023. The benchmark ran for a single game. Capacity is allocated per game, so every game on the platform can scale to this level independently and at the same time. 40 per second is the standard rate. Studios that need more can plan a higher rate with us: in an October 2026 client load test, deployments peaked at 70 per second, with 85 in a single second, through the same production API and scheduler every customer uses, with no measurable impact on other customers. How we ran the test.
Back to the metric ↑Concurrent capacity for each game
In November 2023, the platform sustained 40 game server deployments per second for 60 minutes across 550+ locations and 17 providers, reaching 14 million concurrent sessions at 100 players per server. Game servers were real containers; player clients were simulated. The benchmark ran for a single game. Capacity is allocated per game, so every game on the platform can scale to this level independently and at the same time.
Back to the metric ↑Availability
Availability is committed at 99.99% under our SLA and measured continuously against five independently monitored components: Container Registry, Dashboard, Public API, Public Documentation and Website. Trailing 90-day measured uptime: 99.999%. The live figure is published on status.edgegap.com.
Back to the metric ↑Provider redundancy
Distinct suppliers under contract and carrying production traffic, counted at corporate-entity level. Failover across providers is automatic; it is the premise of the multi-cloud architecture.

How We Keep This Current
What gets reviewed, on what cadence, and what carries its own date.
Platform figures on this page are reviewed and refreshed quarterly. Metrics drawn from live sources (availability and game server deployments) carry their own as-of dates and are updated as measured. Benchmark results are dated to the test that produced them and are not restated as current figures.
