Scale note
This page distills three desks we run before a season: capacity planning, backend architecture reviews, and launch readiness. Each desk has artifacts your producers can skim without decoding YAML.
We translate CCU targets into shard budgets, queue depth envelopes, and cache warm paths. The diagrams show where login storms overlap with store refreshes so finance sees the same story as infra.
Reviews focus on authoritative paths, matchmaker fan-out, and persistence hot spots. We flag contract boundaries between gameplay, platform, and analytics so incidents do not hide in the seams.
Readiness means rehearsal calendars, rollback owners, and comms templates—not a single green load test. We score readiness with explicit gaps instead of false confidence.
