Match Players & Launch Games Instantly, the Easy Way
Edgegap’s “Gen 2” Matchmaker is now out of Early Access! What might warrant such a change, you might ask?
New, Powerful Features!
Joining the region-less, latency-based matchmaking (the only matchmaker with this feature, that we are aware of) and team matchmaking, we have:
Automated Backfill: Upon (popular) request, we’re adding backfill with automated ticket assignment, which allows you to reuse server seats when players leave the session.
Ideal for filling empty player seats after a match has begun, or for replacing players that have left during a match.
Group Matchmaking: We’re adding the ability to join as a group to the already available ability to fill multiple teams with players.
Ideal for joining up in a matchmaking queue with a group of friends or coming from a common lobby.
New ✨
The dashboard now enforces a minimum of 1/4 vCPU when creating an application version. This change aims to reduce integration issues observed with smaller instances and improve first time user experience. If you need access to smaller increments, please contact us.
The API now enforces a minimum of 1/4 vCPU when creating an application version. Users previously using smaller instances will not be affected by this change. If you need access to smaller increments, please contact us.
We've added a warning message when updating the maximum duration of an application version. Changing this value can cause running deployments to be immediately stopped.
You can now edit your configuration while the matchmaker is running. This triggers a quick reload of your configuration without requiring a full on/off cycle for your matchmaker. Note: This feature is not recommended for production environments, as it deletes all current tickets and temporarily makes the API unresponsive.
Improvements 💪
The minimum size for Matchmaker Gen2 has been reduced to 1 CPU & 2GB of Memory, and it's pricing has been decreased to $0.0312/hour. This change lowers costs for development and testing environments.

Notice to all Matchmaker users: As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our infrastructure, we will be transitioning the matchmaker clusters to a new provider. This change is necessary to ensure better performance and reliability for your services.
To facilitate this transition, you will need to re-release your matchmaker. The URL will remain the same, so no changes are required on that front. Please note that there will be a brief downtime of approximately 5 minutes during this process.
If you wish to perform the migration using an A/B strategy, you can simply start a new matchmaker. It will be on the new cluster with a new URL. Once you replace the URL in your game clients, delete the old one. This approach minimizes any potential disruption and ensures a seamless transition.
Deadline: Please complete this transition by Friday, the 12th of July. After this date, we will re-release all matchmakers still running on the old provider.

New ✨
You can now add and remove tags to your deployment using the API. Additionally, you have the option to tag from within your deployment's container. It was previously only possible to tag from the dashboard and at the start of the deployment request. To learn more about this new feature, please refer to this documentation.
You now have access to more robust filtering options for sessions and relay sessions, which function in a similar manner to the deployments filter.
Improvements 💪

We are excited to announce a new way to deploy on the edge with Edgegap distributed relays. With this update, you can now deploy relay sessions across multiple locations in our infrastructure, providing you with all the benefits of the Edgegap solution, including low latency, scalability, and easy integration. To learn more about this new feature, please refer to this documentation.
Improvements 💪
Deployments and sessions that are in an error status will be automatically deleted after a certain period of time. Currently, this is set to occur after 24 hours. Deployments or sessions in error do not have any live games or applications running, so users will not be disconnected from any server.
2023.03.07
Improvements 💪
We have increased the maximum termination grace period from 180 seconds to 3600 seconds, allowing more time for post-delete processes to complete. Please note that this extended time period will be billed, even if the deployment is in a terminating state, as compute resources are still in use during this time.
