Venade Cloud — Distributed Game Infrastructure

Venade Cloud is a high-performance backend infrastructure designed to orchestrate and scale a global network of game servers for Hytale. It acts as the backbone for a distributed server environment—similar to systems used by networks like Hypixel—enabling seamless player transitions and global data synchronization across a scalable cluster.

🎯 Goal

The project was built to support a large-scale gaming network where high uptime and low latency are critical. By offloading persistence and orchestration to a Go-based microservice, the Java-based game servers can focus entirely on gameplay mechanics while the cloud layer handles the heavy lifting of global identity, cross-server communication, and state management.

✨ Features

• Scalable Server Orchestration: Designed to deploy and manage a range of game servers dynamically based on player demand.
• Cross-Language Communication: High-speed RPC calls between Java and Go using gRPC and Protocol Buffers.
• Asynchronous Data Flow: Fully non-blocking command execution using
  CompletableFuture
  chains to maintain no nlock in the main threads.
• Global Role & Stats System: Centralized player management with support for complex hierarchies and real-time statistics tracking.
• Automated Infrastructure: Containerized deployment using Docker and Kubernetes for horizontal scaling and service discovery.

👥 Team & Leadership

This project is developed by an international team including friends from university, where I manage not only the software, also all team members. As the Software Architect, I am responsible for the end-to-end design of the system, working across the entire stack—from Go backend services and PostgreSQL database optimization to the Java-based game server integration and DevOps pipelines. The only thing I don't do too much is Security - Thanks Tim :)

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Languages: Go (Backend Service), Java (Hytale Plugin), Protobuf
• Database: PostgreSQL (High-concurrency connection pooling)
• Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker
• CI/CD: GitLab CI/CD for automated build and deployment cycles
