Why work with us

• Open source core, no lock-in. Nakama is open source (Apache 2.0), so studios can inspect, self-host, and extend it, and they aren't dependent on a closed vendor.
• Run it your way. Self-host on any cloud or on-prem, or use Heroic Cloud, our managed service. Studios can start managed and move later, or the reverse.
• Built for games, not general backend. Purpose-built features cover auth, social graph, chat, matchmaking, leaderboards, tournaments, storage, and real-time multiplayer, so teams don't assemble them from generic services.
• Server-authoritative game logic, written in Go, TypeScript, or Lua. Teams can extend the server in languages they already use, with Go giving high performance at scale.
• Live ops and metagame tooling on the same stack. Hiro (metagame systems) and Satori (LiveOps, analytics, personalization) mean studios don't need separate vendors for economy, events, and segmentation.
• Proven at scale. Independently scale-tested at 2M+ CCU.
• Engine-agnostic. Client SDKs for Unity, Unreal, Godot, Defold, JS, etc, so a studio's engine choice never limits its backend choice.
• Founder-led support from the engineers who build it.
• Independent (no investment beyond YC in 2015) and long-term profitable. Operating since 2015, with an active open-source community.
• Used by Zynga, Loom Games, Mattel , Paradox, Remedy, Halfbrick, Playtika and thousands more.
