Rapidly build social games that can infinitely scale

Gamers want to be constantly connected with interactive experiences that they can share with their friends on sites like Facebook and Twitter. And they expect their experience to be responsive 24/7 under any type of load. Because a modern game can go viral very quickly, you need to be ready to handle the demands of millions of users from day one. Windows Azure can help!

Windows Azure provides game developers with on-demand compute, storage, content delivery and networking capabilities so that you can focus on development instead of operational hurdles or infrastructure. With Windows Azure you can start small and scale up fast or start big and scale down as your usage dictates.

The Windows Azure Toolkit for Social Games enables you to quickly get started quickly on multiple platforms including HTML5, Facebook and mobile devices. The toolkit supports multiple programming languages, and contains common libraries, deployment tools and documentation.
