What is Serverless game delivery?

Cere’s serverless hosting solutions allow anyone with a Wallet and the https://github.com/cere-io/cere-games-sdk to build and run applications and services without thinking about servers. Now, you only need code! When you go serverless, your dApp still runs on servers, but all the infrastructure management and payments are handled by DDC.

Games can integrate with the Freeport to facilitate user interactions, payment processing and user data management within the application. Games can use DDC for storage by injecting one of Cere’s official DDC SDKs. In the simplest of cases, it’s possible to upload with the Freeport Game Uploader, and play instantly in your browser.

Why games should be serverless?

The Cere DDC is an industry-changing piece of innovation that empowers game developers to focus solely on building their games without worrying about infrastructure management, user acquisition, and monetization. With Cere’s serverless hosting solutions, anyone with a Cere Developer Wallet and the Cere Games SDK can build and run applications and services without ever thinking about servers. This means that the infrastructure management and payments are all handled by the DDC, which frees up developers' time to focus on creating a fun gaming experience for their users.

One of the significant benefits of using Cere's serverless game delivery is that games can be played instantly without the need for any installations or downloads. Furthermore, games can integrate with Cere Freeport to facilitate user interactions, payment processing, and user data management within the application. By leveraging DDC storage and the official DDC SDKs, developers can effortlessly upload their games and have them hosted on the Cere DDC within minutes.

Cere's DDC provides additional features to enhance the gaming experience for both developers and players. For example, game scores and ranks are connected to an NFT stored in the user's wallet via the decentralized Leaderboard. This allows developers to incentivize and promote gameplay by distributing Cere NFTs and client NFTs to players.
