Challenge



The platform needed to serve as the main entry point for upcoming games while also handling user accounts, game data, and community features like leaderboards and galleries.


Solution



A web platform was built using React for the front end and Node.js for the backend. The system connects to an existing user database and exposes an API that games and other services can use to interact with player accounts and data.


Addition



The platform also includes user dashboards, profile management, and activity tracking. These features help players stay connected to their progress and make it easier for developers to expand the platform with new games and services.

Infustructure



The platform was deployed on DigitalOcean using droplets to host both the application and supporting services. Traffic is routed through a load balancer to distribute requests and improve reliability.
