24x7x365 GameOps coverage for a persistent online war game.

Challenge

Maintaining live-service coverage without consuming the engineering roadmap.

Reto-Moto needed reliable coverage while continuing to develop, improve, and expand Heroes & Generals. Internal expertise mattered, but that expertise should not be consumed by overnight monitoring, alert qualification, release validation, and repetitive operational tasks.

Zumidian's role

An embedded GameOps layer inside Reto-Moto's environment.

Zumidian did not replace internal expertise. It prevented that expertise from becoming the last line of defense every time an issue appeared outside normal working hours.

Services used
Incident Management

Incident response, alert qualification, runbook execution, escalation coordination, and recovery validation.

Ping Monitoring

Global latency and packet-loss visibility across key player regions, helping identify regional degradation before it became broader player impact.

Launch Stability & Release Operations

Deployment validation, release coverage, post-release monitoring, and support during high-risk update windows.

Results

Repeatable execution across a mature live-service game

400+ releases supported

Deployment validation, release coverage, and post-release monitoring across every update window over the life of the engagement.

1m 52s average MTTA

Fast qualification of alerts across game servers, backend services, matchmaking, authentication, and the war server.

Continuous coverage for 19M+ registered players

A persistent, free-to-play environment with no offline window and players in every region.

Regional visibility through ping monitoring

Latency and packet-loss coverage across key player regions, identifying regional degradation before it became broad player impact.

Lower key-person dependency

Approved runbooks moved knowledge out of individual heads and into a repeatable system.

For Reto-Moto, Reduced overnight and weekend on-call pressure. Faster incident qualification and response. More consistent release and deployment support. Lower key-person dependency for repeatable operations. Zumidian reduced the burden on Reto-Moto's engineering team, allowing internal resources to remain focused on game development, content delivery, and platform improvements while Heroes & Generals remained continuously covered.

“Fast issue response, resolution and communication is just normal for them — working closely together makes Zumidian a natural extension of Reto-Moto.”

Jean-Marc Broyer, CEO, Reto-Moto

Heroes & Generals, supported through to the end of its live-service life.
