The Client

A leading North American video game developer known for blockbuster titles and for building widely used tools that support real-time content creation across the entertainment industry.

The Situation

Behind every update and cinematic moment is a rendering engine working hard to keep pace with player expectations.

Managing render farms across multiple teams had become a patchwork of siloed infrastructure, duplicated effort, and rising costs. Each team operated its own on-premise setup, leading to inconsistent practices, idle hardware, and limited scalability. Without shared capacity, production cycles slowed—delaying the delivery of new assets, updates, and visual content that drive player engagement and monetization. To keep pace with global projects and user expectations, the organization needed a standardized, cloud-native platform that could scale dynamically with workload demand.

The Solution

Service overview

Dedicated scrum team delivering DevOps support for cloud-native rendering. Included IaC with Terraform, CI/CD automation, and AWS-native orchestration across 200+ accounts—enabling scalable, cost-efficient rendering for global creative teams.

Approach

As an AWS Partner, we leveraged native services to orchestrate scalable, secure render environments with autoscaling, multi-AZ deployments, and centralized observability. CI/CD and IAM ensured speed and secure access across teams.

Key actions
  1. Standardized render farm deployments across 200+ AWS accounts using reusable Terraform modules.
  2. Automated CI/CD pipelines for rapid provisioning and updates.
  3. Integrated CloudWatch and Cost Explorer for centralized monitoring and cost tracking.
  4. Secured multi-team access with IAM roles and policies implementation.
  5. Enabled EC2 autoscaling fleets to match compute capacity with rendering demand.

Driving Results

  • Enabled on-demand rendering, accelerating production cycles and creative throughput.
  • Reduced infrastructure waste and compute costs through autoscaling and pay-as-you-go provisioning.
  • Improved deployment speed and consistency with CI/CD pipelines and standardized Terraform modules.
  • Lowered operational overhead by eliminating on-prem maintenance and manual scaling.
  • Scaled render capacity globally to support multiple teams and concurrent projects.

Bottom line

We make cloud-native rendering infrastructure on AWS Simple, Smart, Reliable—accelerating creative output while reducing cost and complexity at scale.
