When deploying architecture for multiplayer games (Minecraft, FiveM, Rust), sysadmins often try to cut costs with cloud VPS. For gaming, this is a mistake. Tick rates demand Bare Metal.
Game servers require high single-thread CPU performance. A VPS shares CPU and network resources. A "noisy neighbor" on the same hypervisor causes CPU steal time, resulting in server-side lag spikes.
In my latest post on eServers, I explain why we strictly advocate for Bare Metal solutions. I dive deep into:
The necessity of 100% hardware isolation.
Optimizing network routes for sub-20ms latency.
Mitigating L3/L4 volumetric attacks with 250Gbps edge scrubbing.
Handling massive state syncs with 10Gbps uplinks.
