Zynga Architecture
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 servers
running 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.
