Simpl hosts dedicated game servers on demand. Upload a build, define a queue, and let players matchmake into lobbies that each get a machine of their own.

​
How it fits together

Project

The top-level container. Every build, server, queue, lobby, and key belongs to a project.

Build

A deployable game server artifact, packaged from your binary and startup script.

Queue

A matchmaking configuration that defines who plays together and where.

Lobby

A room where players gather before Simpl finds them a server.
Servers are running instances of a build. Every server carries match context, connection details, and player data on disk from the moment it boots.

​
Two ways to run a server

Boot a server manually from the dashboard or API when you’re testing a build or setting up a private match. Boot a server through matchmaking when players need to be grouped and connected automatically for a live game. Start with the Quickstart to boot your first server.

Quickstart

Boot your first server in five minutes.
