For the AccelByte platform team · Developer platform concept

The runtime under the game backend.

AccelByte powers multiplayer game backends — Foundations, Online services, and Multiplayer Servers — for studios shipping to millions of players. Every one of those workloads is multi-tenant, real-time, and unforgiving of latency or downtime. That's the exact shape of Cloudflare's developer platform: run each studio as a tenant, serve players from 330+ cities, and absorb the DDoS that live games attract — alongside the cloud you run today, not instead of it.

Multi-tenant
Each studio a tenant on Workers for Platforms

Real-time player traffic served at the edge
DDoS-proof
The network that absorbs the largest attacks on record

Your product lines, on the platform built for them.

Four places Cloudflare slots under the AccelByte stack — each tied to a workload you already run for studios.

Foundations · multi-tenant

Workers for Platforms

Run every studio's backend as an isolated tenant on one platform — per-customer code, limits, and observability, deployed globally in milliseconds. The architecture AccelByte already is, made native.

Multiplayer · real-time

Spectrum + Durable Objects

Carry non-HTTP game traffic (UDP/TCP) over Cloudflare's edge, and hold authoritative real-time session state in Durable Objects — matchmaking, lobbies, and live game state close to every player.

🛡
Online · always-on

DDoS + Bot Management

Live games are the most-attacked targets on the internet. Cloudflare absorbs record-scale DDoS unmetered, and stops the bots, credential stuffing, and cheating infrastructure that target player accounts.

Data · AI

R2 + Workers AI

Zero-egress storage for game assets, telemetry, and player data — and edge inference for matchmaking, anti-cheat, and player experience, without backhauling to a single region.

The deep dive goes further — the full architecture under Foundations, Online, and Multiplayer, with the per-workload mapping and the one question for your platform team.

One platform under every studio you serve.

AccelByte already runs the hardest backend in software — multi-tenant, real-time, global, always-on. Cloudflare is the network and developer platform built for exactly that shape. Worth 30 minutes to map it against how AccelByte is architected today?
