Strict time constraints
We considered all the desired features and chose the most important ones. Glitch Creative Labs also saved us some time. They created beautiful graphics for the app, including the logo and app store marketing materials. Within 2 weeks, we had built the app with core functionality.
Filtered online players list
In this list, users are separated by games, skill level, and visibility settings. To implement instant updates for these filters we use Redis (an in-memory key-value database) and socket connections.
Real-time gamers connections
When the invite is sent, a 60-second timer is activated. Users have to make a decision whether to accept or decline the request, so it was extremely important to display immediate notifications for both users. We used Google Firebase under the hood to guarantee 95% of push notifications are delivered within 250 milliseconds.
ProductCrafters are the best development team we've ever worked with personally. They’ve been awesome, every step of the way. I highly recommend them.
