Game servers and IT infrastructure, folded to fit your world.
We build low-latency multiplayer backends, host dedicated game servers, and manage the IT that keeps indie and studio teams online. Based on Crescent Street in Ville-Marie, shipping to players everywhere.
A four-fold path from kickoff to live
Every engagement moves through the same crisp, predictable stages so you always know where your build stands.
- 01
Discovery & load modeling
We map your player count, netcode, and peak-hour spikes, then model the infrastructure you actually need — no oversized bills for headroom you'll never touch.
Week 1 · Free scoping call - 02
Architecture & prototype
You get a working staging cluster with matchmaking, region routing, and a latency dashboard so the whole team can feel the netcode before we commit.
Weeks 2–3 - 03
Build & hardening
We implement your backend, run DDoS mitigation, set up automated snapshots, and load-test against 3× your projected concurrency.
Weeks 4–6 - 04
Launch & 24/7 watch
We deploy to the Montreal and Toronto regions, watch the dashboards on launch night, and stay on call for patch days and tournament spikes.

"They took our janky peer-to-peer prototype and gave us authoritative servers in five weeks. Launch night held 12,000 concurrent players without a hiccup."
"The latency dashboard alone paid for itself — we finally saw where our Ontario players were dropping. DualPhoenix rerouted the traffic and complaints stopped overnight."
"We're a three-person studio and they became our whole ops team. Patch days used to terrify us; now they're boring, which is exactly what I wanted."
