Case Study: Super League Gaming achieves rapid scale and snappier gameplay with Equinix Metal
A Equinix Case Study
Automated Bare Metal Is a Slam Dunk for Super League Gaming
Super League Gaming, an amateur esports platform that connects players across ages and games, faced explosive user growth starting in late 2019—especially in its Minecraft community—and needed to scale quickly during the COVID surge. Its lean DevOps team required automation, a robust API, Kubernetes support and stable infrastructure to maintain performance while staying agile.
They partnered with Equinix Metal to run automated bare metal with strong API and Kubernetes support, giving the team infrastructure-as-code and operational stability without expanding headcount. The result: snappier user experiences and rapid scale—62% growth in registered users, about 16 million monthly gameplay hours in Q1 2020, and a 70% increase in video views and ad impressions.
