The EU Online Services Summit is made possible by our partners:

We’re a bunch of backend engineers that helped scale massive games like League of Legends, Destiny 2, and Plants vs Zombies 2. We’ve built the Backend Game Engine that powers features like cross-platform accounts, matchmaking, and player data (achievements, quests, battle passes, monetization, etc.). The Pragma Backend Game Engine is the only truly extensible backend solution.

i3D.net simplifies scaling, empowering companies to grow confidently. With experience scaling leaders like Discord and Psyonix, we provide a robust interconnected infrastructure platform empowered by hands-on expertise. Our self-service solutions and 24/7 LiveOps ensure infrastructure evolves with ambitions. More than a mere infrastructure provider, we're the partner for the fastest-growing companies.

Hathora is a server orchestration and hybrid cloud provider for AA and AAA studios running the most ambitious multiplayer games, from dev to launch or migrations when cloud is no longer meeting your needs. They already power games like Frost Giant’s Stormgate, Omeda Studios’ Predecessor, and 1047 Games’ forthcoming Splitgate 2. Their self-service platform gets you going in minutes with deployments in 14+ regions.

k-ID is a first-of-its-kind global compliance engine that makes it easy for game developers and parents to ensure the safety and privacy of kids and teens online, providing age-appropriate and market-specific feature access in more than 200 markets around the world.
