CASE STUDY

Pocket Gems

Solution

Pocket Gems uses PubNub to power the in-game chat and multiplayer aspects of War Dragons.

Impact

Pocket Gems no longer has to worry about building and maintaining real-time infrastructure in order to power their games. Instead, they’re able to focus on building great games and continuing to deliver engaging and exciting real-time games. PubNub enabled Pocket Gems to create a great multiplayer experience in their hugely successful game War Dragons; PubNub is the real-time solution they love to revisit for new features and new games.

"DevOps isn’t our core competency. I’d much rather work with a dedicated service like PubNub to fulfill a well-defined need, like quickly transmitting data between players, so our engineering team can focus on the hard problems that are unique to our business."
