Servers that keep your players in the match, not the menu.
GoProtocolGrid runs the low-latency backends, matchmaking, and 24/7 IT operations behind studios shipping multiplayer games out of Mile End.
+1 (514) 555-3762A studio-side ops team, not a faceless data center.
We speak build pipeline
We started as gameplay and backend engineers, so we tune netcode, tick rates, and rollback the way your programmers would — no translation layer between your studio and your servers.
Montreal roots, global edge
Headquartered on Fairmount West in Mile End, we deploy across 34 edge regions so a player in São Paulo gets the same snappy match as one on Saint-Laurent Boulevard.
You own everything
Your game binaries, player data, and telemetry live in your accounts. We operate the grid; you keep the keys, the exports, and full portability if you ever leave.
From build upload to live match in four steps.
Teardown call
A 60-minute session where we map your current netcode, session flow, and pain points. Free, no commitment, usually within 48 hours of reaching out.
Grid blueprint
We return a written plan: region layout, tick-rate targets, autoscaling rules, and a fixed monthly quote in CAD. You approve before anything ships.
Staged rollout
We stand up a staging fleet mirroring production, run soak and load tests up to your peak CCU, then cut over during a low-traffic window you pick.
Live operations
24/7 monitoring from our Montreal NOC, weekly latency reports, and an on-call engineer who answers in your Slack — not a ticket queue.
One grid for servers, matchmaking, and IT.
Dedicated fleets that scale to your CCU curve
Bare-metal and containerized game servers across 34 edge regions, auto-provisioned as players queue and spun down when lobbies empty. Rollback-friendly tick rates from 30 to 128 Hz.
- ✓Instant region failover under 400 ms
- ✓Per-match cost telemetry in the dashboard
- ✓Bring your own engine — Unreal, Unity, or custom
Teams that ship on GoProtocolGrid.
Independent and mid-size studios across Quebec and beyond run their live services with us.
Technical Director, Plateau-Mont-Royal · March 2025
“Our launch-day CCU was 6× our estimate and the grid just absorbed it. Zero queue backups, zero all-nighters for my engineers.”
Studio Lead, Toronto · January 2025
“The matchmaker cut our average queue time from 90 seconds to 11. Player retention in week one jumped noticeably once matches felt fair.”
Head of Ops, Griffintown · November 2024
“They caught a credential-stuffing attack at 3 a.m. and had it mitigated before I woke up. That on-call line is worth the whole contract.”
Backend Lead, Mile End · September 2024
“Migrating our old EU servers over took one weekend and a staging cutover. Our French players finally have sub-20 ms pings.”
The things studios ask before they switch.
We run dedicated servers for Unreal Engine, Unity, Godot, and fully custom C++ engines. If your game exposes a headless server build and a session API, we can host it. We handle FPS, MOBA, battle royale, racing, and persistent-world workloads.
You get a fixed monthly platform fee based on your region layout plus metered compute for active match-hours, all quoted in CAD before onboarding. Most indie studios start between $1,800 and $4,500 per month, and you see per-match cost telemetry so there are no surprise bills.
Edge scrubbing absorbs volumetric attacks automatically, and our Montreal NOC is alerted for anything that gets through. An on-call engineer responds in your Slack within minutes, 24/7, and you receive a written incident report afterward.
Yes. Your binaries, player data, and telemetry live in cloud accounts you own, and our configuration is delivered as plain infrastructure-as-code. There is no lock-in period beyond the current month, and we help with the export if you go.
We operate across 34 edge regions on multiple cloud and bare-metal providers, with strong coverage in eastern Canada, the US, Western Europe, and South America. During onboarding we pick the regions that match where your players actually are.
