Challenges

Tyrant aims to provide a highly responsive and scalable gaming experience for a broad user base within the Telegram Mini App environment. However, several challenges stood in the way of achieving this goal:

– Performance optimization for mobile and web environments: Ensuring a smooth and low-latency experience within the Telegram Mini App, which operates within a webview, required meticulous optimization of both the frontend and backend to prevent UI freezes or delays.

– Scalability of backend infrastructure: Managing a potentially rapidly growing player base necessitated a highly scalable backend infrastructure capable of dynamically adjusting to varying loads without compromising performance.

– Security and anti-cheat measures: As a combat and tap-game, implementing robust security measures to prevent cheating, bot usage, and ensure fair gameplay was critical to maintaining player trust and game integrity.

Solutions

To overcome the challenges, Hola Tech adhered to the best practices. Key components of the solution included:

– Optimized frontend and backend for performance: To tackle performance optimization, we meticulously crafted a highly performant frontend with ReactJS, implementing techniques like lazy loading and efficient state management for a smooth user experience within the Telegram Mini App’s webview. Concurrently, the NestJS backend on AWS was optimized for low latency responses, utilizing efficient data querying with MongoDB to prevent UI freezes and ensure a responsive game flow.

– Scalable cloud-native backend infrastructure: Addressing scalability, we architected a cloud-native backend on AWS, leveraging services such as EC2 auto-scaling groups and a highly available MongoDB cluster. The NestJS application was designed for horizontal scaling, allowing the infrastructure to dynamically adjust to varying player loads without compromising performance, ensuring seamless growth.

– Comprehensive security and anti-cheat framework: To ensure game integrity and player trust, we implemented a robust security and anti-cheat framework. This included server-side validation of all game actions, advanced algorithms to detect and mitigate bot usage, and secure communication protocols, effectively preventing cheating and maintaining fair gameplay.
