Agones is an open-source Kubernetes controller and custom resource definitions (GameServers, Fleets) for hosting, running, and scaling dedicated multiplayer game servers. It provides a game-server SDK for lifecycle and health management, fleet autoscaling, and metrics/monitoring integration.
Use cases
- host dedicated game servers on kubernetes
- autoscale game server fleets
- integrate a matchmaker with game server allocation
- manage game server health and lifecycle
- run multiplayer game backend infrastructure
- export game server metrics for ops dashboards
When to choose
- you run multiplayer games with dedicated servers and already use or can adopt Kubernetes
- you need fleet-level scaling integrated with cluster autoscaling
- you want matchmakers to provision game servers via the Kubernetes API
- you need engine-agnostic SDKs for game server lifecycle management
When to avoid
- your game uses listen servers or peer-to-peer rather than dedicated servers
- you don't operate Kubernetes and don't want to learn it
- you need simple single-server hosting without orchestration
- you only need a lightweight PaaS without custom controllers
