Disaster Recovery is a key element of a robust gaming platform infrastructure. Any high-load system must have a prepared scenario for recovery from critical failures, disasters, or infrastructure loss.
Gaming platforms work with a lot of transactions, game sessions and user data. Any system shutdown can lead to financial losses, loss of user trust, and technical problems.
Disaster Recovery includes a backup server strategy, database replication, automated infrastructure failover, service recovery, and post-incident data integrity checking.
JackCode implements a Disaster Recovery architecture that allows the gaming platform to quickly restore services, minimize downtime, and protect businesses from infrastructure risks.
The main objectives of the disaster recovery system are:
- Service recovery after failure
- Switching to backup infrastructure
- Restoring databases
- Data integrity control
- Restart critical services
- Restoring APIs and game integrations
- Post-recovery stability check
