Run company

[pinkandpurple]

Can you run a small company with a game and userbase line OMGPOP with just 4 people?

A single programmer, artist, sound person and a marketer?

Instagram has 13 people total and 40m users.

Nimblebit who made Tiny Tower has 2 staff and over 1m DAU.

How many servers do they need?

Entirely dependent on your code.

I'm not pretty sure of it, it's more about what they intend to do, not only the code, the code cannot handle 40 millions users without a server care..

Of course, I could have gone more into depth but the gave a generic response to the generic question.

It depends on your server, it's RAM and CPU, how clean your code is, how 'chatty' your game/app is plus 101 other important things.

BTW, because we're talking about server stuff, I would like to ask also about the Cloud option.

Which Cloud service that we often use while producing game on iOS?

Is it better to have your own hardware servers or hire online servers?
