This will be a technical deep dive into the architecture and infrastructure of the game servers that power the D&D Beyond VTT (https://www.dndbeyond.com/games ).
Each game receives a dynamically provisioned server via the Agones Kubernetes extension.
Topics include:
Networking considerations unique to browser-based games.
Discussion of "rollback net code" and a server authoritative state model.
Provisioning of servers with Agones running on AWS EKS.
