Frag Basic Online Microservice Backend — our Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) for Unity and Unreal multiplayer games, built after years of hitting the walls of black-box services.
FBOMB is a Backend-as-a-Service, similar to PlayFab and GameSparks. We’ve worked with several such services on client products, and though their ease of use for quickly deploying server backends was admirable, whenever you needed custom server-side code they always gated development because of their black-box nature.
FBOMB was initially built for pseudo real-time games that scale to 100k+ users with minimal horizontal scaling. The stack was chosen with exactly that in mind.
An actor system that can process millions of requests in parallel with minimal overhead.
The NoSQL database of choice: highly available data with minimal consistency issues, ideal for modern games.
Our message queue: a modular message bus that’s easy to extend.
Games connect through our RESTful API or persistent socket connections, both served by this WebSockets framework.
Using stress-testing frameworks, we’ve tested systems built on FBOMB to scale to 200+ CCU per Medium AWS instance — on par with solutions from top-tier game companies. Services can also be configured to auto-scale on demand, maximising availability.
Bespoke development is part of our regular business model and sits at the heart of FBOMB: we modify the services for your use case, enabling huge cost optimisations — no source code licence required. Customization work is billed at discounted rack rates, currently $30 / hour.
FBOMB’s feature set is split into two pools, Base and Pro. All licences are perpetual and per product.
Perpetual, per product
À la carte, on top of Base
SDKs for Unity and Unreal are included for quick integration, communicating over HTTP or sockets. The feature list is continuously updated and existing services are consistently optimised.
Full feature set · 1 year of Bronze support · 3 years of free upgrades
Basic troubleshooting and consulting are free after licence purchase. Any successful game needs a dedicated DevOps team, so we offer a support resource at three levels.
No SLA, 24-hour turnaround, partial allocation.
90% uptime, 8-hour turnaround, part-time resource.
98% uptime, 30-minute turnaround, full-time resource.
We charge for a single resource, but a larger support team stands behind it so there’s always coverage when you need it. Support resources are DevOps engineers who monitor your game’s performance to solve problems before they happen.
Supports 500 CCU (10k DAU).
