AWS x Valorant Champions

Super excited to be bringing you all behind-the-scenes of Valorant Champions this week with Riot Games x Amazon Web Services (AWS)! 🎮☁️

Last night at the kickoff, we learned a lot today about how Riot Games scaled Valorant across many technical challenges including:

- scaling a global gaming ecosystem as an ISP / internet network

- optimizing for 35ms latency for users around the world

- migrating an on-premise server system to the cloud to utilize highly responsive technologies

- solving for the “peeker’s advantage” issue where users with faster internet systems could work faster than users affected by lower bandwidth/latency.

A major thank you to all the speakers and experts whom we have been able to learn a lot from so far including AWS’ Jun David, Randy James, and Shiva Natarajan and Riot Games’ John R. Knauss, Brian Miller, and Gabriel Isenberg.

Today, we will get to see the action LIVE! 🔥🎮💻

What questions do you have about esports, cloud-based gaming, and the tech that powers all of this? 🤔💭

Let me know below and stay tuned for more content this week! 👀
