Zynga Architecture

Games are delivered to various devices via content distribution

networks (CDNs).

Individuals actually play on their local systems, but when they

make changessuch as playing a word in Words with

Friendsthose changes are sent to Zynga's infrastructure.

Initially, the changes are sent to load balancers, which then

distribute them to Web servers running Apache PHP.

Once those changes are updated, they are sent to serversrunning Membase, which has a DRAM-based key-value store

for the "gameboard." That is shortly copied to a physical disk to

minimize the chances that any data would be lost in case of a

failure.

Zynga - Infrastructure

Zynga adopted a "hybrid cloud" infrastructure, combining

elements of both public and private cloud solutions.

The number of servers the company needed has increased

100 times. It now has a database with 24.5 trillion rows of data.

Zynga runs on x86 servers, running CentOS Linux.

Zynga has developed an infrastructure for

features such as analytics, feeds, leader

boards, and payments, and these are now

delivered as services to particular games

and game studios across the country.

The company uses APIs to make a Zynga

platform for third-party developers who want

to add social features to their games.

Zynga Why this Infrastructure

Zynga philosophy on infrastructure is to use the public cloud

for generic offerings and private clouds that are tuned for

applications for their more specific needs.

Zynga has physical connections to the public cloud (Amazon

Web Services) via fiber, with a single management tool that

manages both.

This lets him view the public and private as a single piece of

infrastructure.
