Soulbound, a cutting-edge indie game studio based in London, building a cross‑platform MMORPG with pixel art aesthetics and browser‑based access. We’ve built infrastructure for a single‑shard game world that spins up localised regional clusters for instanced combat, delivering low‑latency action RPG gameplay with the flexibility for players to play with anyone, from anywhere in the world, at any time.

Our backend is 60+ microservices running on Google Kubernetes Engine. Statefu...
