Edgegap provides matchmaking, game server hosting and orchestration on public edge computing infrastructure. Its regionless hosting can cache and deploy game servers on demand across more than 615 locations without an SDK. The orchestrator deploys to an available server on demand; Edgegap says this can reduce player latency by up to 58%. Hybrid orchestration can use a Private Fleet alongside Edge Cloud hosting. Automated matchmaking and a server browser run on fully managed clusters. Plugins for Unity, Unreal Engine and Godot support containerizing and deploying game servers, and listed integrations include PlayFab, Epic Online Services Lobbies, Mirror and Photon Fusion 2. Edge Cloud containers are limited to 24 consecutive hours; Private Fleets are suggested for longer-running containers. Distributed Relays support peer-to-peer networking but provide neither compute nor authoritative game servers. Trials are available, including a game server hosting trial with no credit card, one app, two versions and a 60-minute uptime cap per deployment. Edge Cloud costs 0.00 USD per month, billed by vCPU-minute, with $0.10/GB monthly egress.
