Optimize Instance Types

Selecting EC2 instance types with the correct balance of compute and memory allows for multiple game server processes per instance, improving resource usage and decreasing costs.

Leverage Auto Scaling

GameLift's built-in auto scaling, like Target Tracking, dynamically adjusts fleet capacity according to player demand. This assures you only pay for resources being used.
