We make social gaming easier

CloudBuilder, Clan of the Cloud framework, is a one stop shop tool to let you manage dematerialized players’ data and information, as well as interactions with other players, in a complete cross-platform way. As long as the player engages in a game or application which is connected, notwithstanding which platform is used, he will retrieve all his history and accumulated progress.

It is designed in a modular way, organized in several layers which all sit on top of Amazon Web Services in order to profit from automated load- balancing, so as to absorb any peak of usage very quickly.

Key points

Quick setup
No backend to setup, administrate and maintain. You just use our APIs, everything else is handled by us for you. We lower the complexity, you focus on your application. Any request comes down to adding one line of code (posting in leaderboard, sending a notification, ...)
Fast dev
Integrate all your usual social features within minutes on one platform, it will recompile without any change on all other platforms you wish to support. Cross platform development and above all, cross platform execution supporting desktops, laptops, smartphones, tablets, ...
Easy admin
User friendly webpage back office to access important information about metrics (MAU, DAU, CCU, CPUs, leaderboards reset, ...). Have a glance at everything you’re running (without worrying about it) in a few clicks
Scale
Automatic load balancing: servers will go up and down according to the current activity on your application. No human intervention required, it all adjusts by itself magically (well... almost magically!)

The Clan advocates

‘‘Pastagames had the great pleasure and honour to be chosen to develop the Official Videogame of a great retro-gaming exhibit named "Game Story" taking place in one of Paris' most incredible museums, the Grand Palais. We wanted this game to be faithful to the competitive spirit of 1980's arcade games, and to be playable on most of the visitors mobile phones. We developed the game on both iOS and Android platforms, and wanted to have a unique leaderboard, cross-platform, with a simple back-office available online for the exhibit's staff. We chose to implement this leaderboard with CloudBuilder Middleware. We could integrate the solution in less than a week, on both platforms, and experienced not a second of server downtime during the 4 months of the exhibit. The simplicity and elegance of its APIs, coupled with the robustness and scalability of AWS proved to be the perfect fit, and allowed us to meet the deadlines and achieve a smooth experience for our users.’’

Fabien Delpiano, Pastagames, makers of Rayman Jungle Run, Apple Game of the Year 2012

‘‘Until now, working with CloudBuilder Middleware has been a great surprise. Despite being in development, the technology was functional from day one when we integrated it, and Clan of the Cloud development team was always very responsive to our support needs and feature requests. I'm confident that CloudBuilder will give us a competitive edge and play a major role in our next title's success.’’
