Case Study: Hothead Games achieves rapid scalability and multiple chart‑topping game launches with IBM Cloudant

Hothead Games Mobile Sports Games Win Big on Cloudant

Hothead Games, maker of the Big Win mobile sports franchise, saw its Big Win Soccer title soar to number one just two days after release and faced a sudden surge in users that outgrew its existing infrastructure. The rapid growth created an urgent need for a more scalable, reliable backend to sustain future launches and demand spikes.

The company migrated to IBM Cloudant as its scalable database solution, enabling it to handle peak traffic and streamline operations. With Cloudant in place, Hothead has smoothly launched four additional chart-topping Big Win games, demonstrating improved scalability and stability.
