* Scale your project with matchmaking, voice chat, and inventory replication .
* Maintain and update your live game with patching, monitoring, and server scaling.
This book doesn’t stop at teaching you how multiplayer works — it equips you to ship, scale, and maintain a networked game in a real-world production environment.
