The gaming industry faces significant scaling challenges due to the high-stakes and real-time nature of online games, which necessitates a cloud infrastructure that can deliver a smooth experience regardless of the number of active players. To address these challenges, many teams have adopted cloud-native and Kubernetes solutions, but they often struggle with cost issues, leading to overprovisioning and wasted resources. Advanced automation platforms like CAST AI offer a solution by scaling cloud resources up and down in response to real-time demand, ensuring performance and uptime at the lowest possible cost. By implementing automation, teams can benefit from dramatic cost reduction, simplified cloud operations, and improved productivity, with some companies saving over 60% on their cloud costs after integrating CAST AI.
