Case Study: Gamesys boosts productivity and reduces code with PostSharp

Gamesys - Customer Case Study

Gamesys, a social gaming company with one million daily users, faced the challenge of managing a massive backend infrastructure handling 250 million daily requests with a team of only seven developers. Their key challenges involved automating performance monitoring, error handling, and localization to eliminate repetitive code and allow the team to focus on core development. They chose PostSharp to implement these cross-cutting concerns through aspect-oriented programming.

Using PostSharp, Gamesys created custom aspects to automatically handle logging, error responses, and server-side localization. This solution resulted in drastically reduced boilerplate code, saving tens of thousands of lines. With PostSharp, they localized over 95% of a major game with a single line of code, saving hundreds of man-hours. The vendor's tools were crucial in enabling the small team to efficiently maintain and develop several high-volume games.
