Case Study: Zynga achieves rapid cloud scaling with RightScale Cloud Management Platform

Zynga Grows to 1 Social Gaming Site with RightScale

Zynga, the social gaming company behind FarmVille and other hit titles, faced explosive growth that overwhelmed its on-premise infrastructure and made it difficult to manage thousands of cloud servers efficiently. To keep up with demand, Zynga turned to RightScale and its Cloud Management Platform to scale on demand without needing a large team of systems administrators.

RightScale implemented automated cloud management, dynamic auto-scaling, and reusable ServerTemplates/RightScripts to standardize and streamline deployments. With RightScale, Zynga’s small admin team could manage thousands of servers, launch hundreds of servers in minutes, and reduce manual work dramatically; the platform also helped Zynga launch six games in the cloud while codifying best practices and minimizing training needs.
