Case Study: Fourdesire achieves 500% growth in online gamers and 50% reduction in IT labor costs with Amazon Web Services

Fourdesire - Customer Case Study

Fourdesire, a Taiwan-based game studio best known for apps like Plant Nanny that blend gameplay with health and environmental messages, serves a largely international audience. The company needed scalable, low-overhead infrastructure to handle sudden spikes in players and to avoid diverting resources from game development to IT administration.

Fourdesire migrated its production, development, and admin environments to AWS—using services such as EC2, Route 53, Elastic Load Balancing, ElastiCache, CloudFront, and CloudWatch—deployed across Asia-Pacific (Tokyo) and US East regions with support from AWS architects. The move enabled rapid deployment, supported a 500% increase in online gamers over two years, reduced labor costs by about 50%, and let the team focus more quickly on building new games.
