Case Study: Omeda Studios keeps Predecessor live while migrating backends with Pragma Platform

Omeda Studios swaps live game backends in flight with Pragma Platform

Omeda Studios, the developer of the free-to-play MOBA Predecessor, faced the immense challenge of swapping the entire backend service provider for their live game. This process, likened to rebuilding a plane mid-flight, required a solution that would not force them to take the game offline, risking player disruption and engagement. They partnered with vendor Pragma and utilized the Pragma Engine to facilitate this critical migration.

Pragma implemented a solution that focused on multiplayer services and pre-launch load testing, enabling a seamless transition for Omeda Studios. The migration was completed successfully without taking Predecessor offline, solidifying the game's foundation for long-term live service. As a result, players experienced quicker and more responsive matches, and the team at Omeda credited Pragma with having "moved mountains" to help them achieve this complex technical feat.
