Torn, the world's leading text-based MMORPG, faced a crucial challenge: their on-premises infrastructure was struggling to keep up with the game’s growing demands, before announcing an unexpected closure. To stay online, Torn needed a swift and reliable migration to the cloud. Utilising AWS, cloud migration specialist ddx helped Torn migrate all services to the cloud, ensuring the game remained online and players happy. In gaming terms, it was the equivalent of moving a living city from one location to another without disrupting daily life!
Leaning on our enterprise cloud migration expertise, ddx adopted a strategic migration approach. Working closely with the architects at AWS, ddx ensured that Torn’s data was seamlessly replicated in real-time to the cloud. This allowed Torn’s systems to gradually reroute all operations and player requests to the new cloud environment, completing the migration without a hitch.
The result? Torn now operates with enhanced efficiency, handling ~400M requests and 2.1TB of data transfer daily, providing a smoother and more reliable gaming experience for its dedicated players.
As Joe Chedburn, the founder of Torn, noted, "ddx are really, really good at creating and managing teams with the right people for the project. I have not come across this level of management before with other contractors. They have actual passion and a deep willingness to work on their projects, which I haven't really seen before at that level."
