Case Study: Concrete Software achieves faster cross-platform game deployment and seamless user identity management with Amazon Web Services (Amazon Cognito)

Concrete Software - Customer Case Study

Concrete Software is a mobile game developer (iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows) known for titles like NHL Hockey Target Smash and Jellyflop. They struggled with platform-specific implementations that made synchronizing game content across devices difficult and required costly, time-consuming backend infrastructure.

Concrete Software adopted Amazon Cognito to store user data, synchronize game state across platforms, and manage identities for both guests and signed-in users. This simplified cross-platform development by eliminating separate backends, enabled seamless guest-to-authenticated profile transitions, expanded single sign-on options (Facebook, OpenID Connect, custom), and improved security by using temporary AWS credentials.
