NATS

NATS.io is an open source messaging system for cloud native applications, IoT messaging, Edge, and microservices architectures.
Pricing:
- Open Source
With all this information, I started to work on the design of the backend solution dealing with messages using Nats.io when Lucas came up with the idea of using Colyseus.io, which was a perfect fit for our needs* plus simplifies everything a lot!. *[Our needs at that time were: Time remaining to develop an MVP, and how to get the most from OCI while developing the game itself.].

GitHub Actions

Automate your workflow from idea to production
Pricing:
- Open Source
The next step was to work on the CD/CI, and we chose to use the handy GitHub Actions which will trigger the deployment to our Container Registry the necessary docker images every time we push a change in our main branch.

Discord

Step up your game with a modern voice & text chat app. Crystal clear voice, multiple server and channel support, mobile apps, and more.
Pricing:
- Open Source
For that, Dylan already created a Discord server, where we can leave comments, share ideas, questions or just share our struggles. Later on, I realized that we also need some kind of planning to synchronize ourselves, so we created a GitHub project with a simple board to write down the current status but also what was pending and what is done as well as somewhere to put our thoughts on some ideas and discuss them.

Google Cloud Platform

Google Cloud provides flexible infrastructure, end-to-security, modern productivity, and intelligent insights engineered to help your business thrive.

It was time to work on the infrastructure, we already made some decisions and assumed pros and cons. I already have worked with Google Cloud and I especially love how they use Kubernetes, so I wanted to learn how I can use it in Oracle Cloud (via Terraform if possible). I use k8s and Terraform at my home lab, so it should be easy to set up the infrastructure for this project, and it was thanks to the OCI Terraform provider.
