The Software Architecture of Palia

A survey of all the services, components, libraries and languages that went into building Palia: a cozy MMO.

I did expect MMOs to have fairly complex architectures but damn. I have nothing to compare it against but it still makes me slightly dizzy.

I appreciate when teams provide such a detailed write-up of their tech stacks. The callouts to bad choices and recovery (e.g., Nomad) is also refreshing to see.<p>Thank you for the share!

Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy reading these types of articles.<p>I was a bit surprised to see Perforce being used (I&#x27;m not a game developer), I have not come across it since the early 2000s. From what I recall it was very good dealing with merges.

Thanks for sharing! It is really helpful to learn System Design.

Where I used to work they patented the way the servers are kept busy so careful on what you end up implementing for that...<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;patents.google.com&#x2F;patent&#x2F;EP3563559B1&#x2F;en" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;patents.google.com&#x2F;patent&#x2F;EP3563559B1&#x2F;en</a>
