Hathora

Hathora is a real-time compute platform purpose-built for latency-sensitive workloads—starting with global multiplayer games and now powering the next generation of real-time AI inference. We help engineering teams deploy and scale dedicated infrastructure in minutes, not months—whether they’re running multiplayer backends, build servers, or low-latency AI models. Our platform delivers lightning-fast performance through high regional coverage, cold start optimizations, and deeply peered network routing. At the core of Hathora is our proprietary Elastic Metal technology—a hybrid cloud architecture that combines the performance of bare metal with the flexibility of the cloud. This gives teams the ability to scale predictably under load, while keeping infrastructure costs under control. Founded by former Databricks and Palantir engineers, Hathora is trusted by studios and startups alike to deliver always-on, global infrastructure—so developers can focus on what they’re building, not where it runs.
