LaunchGuard
Tested for Launch Day.
Built for Prod.
Launch Reliability as a Service for Game Studios
Confidential – For Studio & Platform Decision-Makers
Launches Are Risky.
Reputation, Revenue & Retention are on the line.
Preventable Failures
Whether you're releasing a new title, migrating platforms, or rolling out major infrastructure changes, launch events are risky.
Most failures are preventable but aren't discovered until it's too late.
DevOps Challenges
Internal DevOps teams are focused on building and integration, not stress testing.
Test environments are fragile, inconsistent, or incomplete.
LaunchGuard closes the gap with tailored
DevOps audits and implementation.
Launch Fails Are Public, Expensive, and Preventable.
Infra failures cost more than money: they cost momentum, trust and visibility.
Financial Cost
Lost revenue from downtime
Trust Damage
Player confidence eroded
Momentum Loss
Marketing impact wasted
We reduce failure risk, accelerate recovery and make sure your infra is as ready as your game.
Infrastructure Insurance for What's Next
Production-Scale Traffic
Simulate real-world loads
Concurrency Surges
Test sudden player influxes
Failure Chains
Expose cascading system issues
Risk Mitigation
Prevent launch day disasters
LaunchGuard is purpose-built to validate infrastructure under stress during release, migration, and scale events. We simulate production-scale traffic, concurrency surges and failure chains to expose risks no traditional QA system catches.
Designed for Teams Launching Under Pressure
Game studios preparing to launch publicly
Ensure your infrastructure can handle day-one player loads
Teams shipping major new infrastructure
Auth rewrite, DB replatform, CI/CD upgrade
Publishers investing in multiplayer or live service stability
Maintain consistent player experience across all services
Mobile teams with bursty adoption windows
Handle sudden traffic spikes and multi-platform support
Every Infra Change is a Launch
New Region Launch
Expanding your game to new territories
Backend Rewrite
Integrating new systems with existing infrastructure
Deployment Architecture
Changing how your game is deployed
These changes can be as impactful as a public product launch – yet are often under-tested. In fast-moving teams, staging rarely mirrors prod – and infrastructure drift introduces hidden risks.
LaunchGuard identifies failure points before they surface in production, whether that launch is for players or your platform team.
From Audit to Implementation
Phase 1 – Audit & Discovery
Infra inventory, scaling posture, CI/CD evaluation, risk map.
Phase 2 – Core Recommendations
30-60-90 day roadmap prioritized by scale, blast radius, cost to fix.
Phase 3 – Implementation
Clone environments, automate tests, simulate concurrency, run drills.
Monitoring & Dashboards: We build custom views using Cloudwatch, Grafana, or whatever you're already using – layering in Error-Traffic-Latency-Saturation baselines and failure markers. No SaaS dependency.
Add-ons: SRE on-call overlay, live deployment support, post-incident debriefs.
Visibility That Scales With Your Infrastructure
Tailored Scorecards
Latency, traffic, system load, error rates
Integrated Runbooks
Tied to alerts, owners, and response flows
Timeline
View
What's been tested, remediated, or still pending
Environment Integration
No external portal
or dashboard to manage

Success Stories
Blockbuster IP Mobile Launch
"No fires, nothing exploding, zero failures. Not only did they identify numerous failure modes during the Load Testing contract that prevented what would have been some pretty catastrophic failures on day 1, they left us the (bespoke) tooling they developed, so we can continue to execute pushbutton loadtest runs in the future. A-grade service: most boring global launch day ever"
Global Social Gaming Platform
Successfully helped the client through the full plan-implement-test-deploy cycle, to bring their gen-1 sovereign web infra that was falling over at 5k requests / min to a deployed gen-2 that happily processes sustained loads of 10k reqs/min and eats up spikes to 20 without breaking a sweat. All with very minimal additional infra expenditure.
Major Studio Migration
Implement quick wins that immediately saved 30% on cloud spend without otherwise affecting services, and then transitioned legacy internal auth systems (a spiderweb) to a centrally managed SSO setup plugged into all the things - with minimal employee impact and no downtime.
Transparent, Fixed-Scope Engagements
We price core work by milestone, but offer hourly escalation and response coverage when your team needs immediate help.
