Case Study: Roblox scales its gaming platform with HashiCorp Nomad

How Roblox Developed and Uses the Windows IIS Nomad Driver

Roblox, the global gaming platform for kids and teens, needed a way to manage internal website tasks at scale as the company grew rapidly. To support this, Roblox used HashiCorp Nomad, a flexible orchestrator for running workloads in any environment, and extended it with a custom Windows IIS task driver.

HashiCorp helped Roblox implement the Nomad-based IIS driver to interface with web tasks and improve internal operations for its website services. The case study highlights that this approach enabled Roblox to scale its global gaming platform easily and reliably, though it does not provide specific numerical metrics.
