Cloud Gaming Backend Service
Game BaaS is the bridge architecture between Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Games-as-a-Service (GaaS). In order to create cloud-based technologies or toolsets for game development, BaaS uses SDKs (software development kits) and APIs (application programming interfaces). To power up games running on a GaaS model, BaaS features like user account and profile management, push notifications, cloud storage, social interactions, commerce, and game telemetry are made easily integrated into game applications through APIs. This greatly reduces the time and manpower required to build such services from scratch.
