PART OF AGS

Add custom logic unique to your game.

Override AGS behavior, react to events, and add new capabilities in your own code. AccelByte hosts and runs it, so there is nothing for you to operate.

Write in your own language, ship behind the same AGS. No credit card required.

Code in the language you already use
Build Extend apps in Go, C#, Java, or Python using familiar APIs and protocols.
Use industry standard protocols
Build against standard gRPC contracts and expose REST endpoints instead of learning a proprietary programming model.
Debug the code you deploy
Inspect logs, metrics, and traces for Extend apps, and debug locally using the same development workflows your team already uses.
Deploy without owning another runtime
Start from templates and SDKs, test locally, then deploy your custom service.

Override
Replace a single piece of AGS behavior with your own logic; your game keeps calling the same interface.
- Replace selected AGS behavior.
- Keep the existing interface.
- Good for matchmaking, chat filters, or loot rules.

Data storage for Extend.

NoSQL Database
Store player data that changes shape as your game grows.
- Keep player profiles, inventories, and guild data intact as your game's content evolves. No migrations or downtime.
- Let your data shape follow your game design, not the other way around.
- Built on Amazon DocumentDB with MongoDB-compatible drivers.
SQL Database
Run reliable transactions for anything that needs to resolve exactly once.
- Give players a fair, consistent economy where every trade, purchase, and reward resolves correctly. Even under heavy load.
- Model relationships between players, items, and progression with full transactional guarantees.
- Built on Aurora PostgreSQL with standard SQL tooling.
Key Value Store
Cache what players hit most and return it in milliseconds.
- Deliver instant response times for session lookups, cooldown timers, and live leaderboards players check between matches.
- Reduce wait times during peak hours by caching what players access most.
- Built on ElastiCache Valkey with Redis-compatible drivers.

Messaging and scheduling for Extend.

Async Messaging
Connect your Extend apps through events, no direct calls needed.
- Reward players the moment something happens: a milestone hit, a purchase made, a friend joined.
- Let your game systems react to each other without tangling them together.
- Publish custom events from any Extend app; consume them in an Event Handler.
Task Scheduler
Run your own game logic on a recurring schedule.
- Reset leaderboards, roll seasons, and drop timed rewards exactly when players expect them.
- Automate recurring game logic so your team doesn't run it by hand.
- Set cron schedules on any custom task in a Service Extension app.
