Case Study: Supercell achieves low-latency global game delivery and better player experience with Amazon CloudFront

Supercell - Customer Case Study

Supercell, the Finland‑based mobile game studio behind Hay Day, Clash of Clans, and Boom Beach, needed cloud infrastructure that could support millions of concurrent players, high‑volume real‑time data pipelines, and rapid unpredictable growth. To meet strict performance, scalability, and low‑latency requirements, Supercell adopted AWS technologies, including Amazon CloudFront to deliver dynamic content from edge locations.

Using Amazon CloudFront alongside AWS compute, storage, and data services, Supercell runs thousands of EC2 instances across Availability Zones, stores up to 10 TB of game‑event data per day, and processes about 45 billion in‑game events daily with Amazon Kinesis. Amazon CloudFront’s edge delivery and the broader AWS stack gave Supercell measurable improvements in latency, global reach (enabling expansion into China), and operational scalability—letting the team focus on game development while maintaining a 24/7 player experience.
