Wizard’s Den Infrastructure

This is a reference for how the official Wizard’s Den game server infrastructure works. It may help you make educated decisions about hardware required or how to set up your infrastructure. This is not an endorsement of any technique or provider, it’s just what we use.

Hardware

If I don’t list something like network bandwidth it’s cuz I’m too lazy to check. You’re not gonna run out, don’t worry.
