In this session, Ispanji Pratama, Head Product Manager at AccelByte, will dig into how AccelByte built the system that can handle millions of Saint's Row players while also providing good player experience when creating, browsing and sharing Bosses and Weapons as User Generated Content (UGC).

Attendees will walk away with knowledge on how to create robust and expansive UGC (User Generated Content) systems that take into account high-volume player numbers and prioritize player experience and ease-of-use. Full details here.
