Thousands of game sessions had to be processed without downtime

The platform had to process game events from thousands of parallel Counter-Strike matches through scalable REST APIs.

It also had to be cheat-resistant, cost-efficient, and able to scale up and down automatically.

• Rapid and effectively unlimited growth
• Cost-effective operation during peak and idle periods
• No manual scaling or maintenance bottlenecks
• Strong protection against fraud and cheat data

Downtime was unacceptable because it would affect live matches, event processing, and payouts.

We built a scalable event processing hub that receives game data, matches events, stores results securely, and integrates with payments for deposits and payouts.

The platform uses cloud-native managed services and serverless components, so it can grow fast, scale down during inactivity, and stay cost-efficient.

• Scalable data sink and event streaming pipeline
• Secure payment integration for accepting bets and sending payouts
• Automated test coverage to reduce bugs and regressions

Event processing and game verification made reliable through EDC technology

The mission-critical part of Challenger was trusted event processing.

Using EDC, we focused on game event ingestion, matching logic, payout-related data, and cheat detection paths where failures or inconsistencies would directly affect money flows.

• High-uptime event hub with no manual scaling
• Duplicate sources of truth for frag data to detect cheating and invalid game actions
• Fault-tolerant cloud services for minimal downtime and stable performance
