Integrating Hathora with a custom backend
There are multiple active games being developed with Hathora and custom backends.
- Learn why 1047 Games built everything in-house for Splitgate 2, wth Hathora being the one exception.
Integrating your custom backend with Hathora is straightforward, the key things to consider are:
- Automate your CI builds to deploy to Hathora with the Hathora CLI
- Update your matchmaker or session manager to call Hathora's CreateRoom() API
- Utilize Hathora's default environment variables to get server connection info to send your backend (to then notify players to join)
