Game Integration

IVK Match forms matches from the tickets your game backend submits. Your backend owns player identity, skill data, session state, game-server provisioning, and player notifications; IVK Match owns queueing, matching, and outcome delivery.

The integration model is the same whether IVK Match is managed by Invokation or self-hosted. The difference is the security boundary:

  • Managed IVK Match requires the credentials supplied for your account.
  • Self-hosted IVK Match has no built-in application authentication; its operator must restrict access at the network and deployment boundary.

Start with the .NET SDK, then configure authentication, author a queue, and follow the integration flow.
