Matchmaker
Flexible matchmaker for placing players in lobbies with no wait times.
The Rivet Matchmaker is a casual matchmaker optimized to get your player connected to your game server in under a second in the optimal region & lobby.
To integrate the Rivet matchmaker, your game needs to call these three endpoints:
- matchmaker.lobbies.find: Called on the game client to return the address to connect to & the player token
- matchmaker.players.connected: Called on the game server to notify the matchmaker the player connected & verify the player token
- matchmaker.players.disconnected: Called on the game server to notify the matchmaker the player disconnected
The Rivet Matchmaker is tightly integrated with Serverless Lobbies to automatically boot lobbies on-demand when players need them. Read more about how Rivet Serverless Lobbies operates your game servers here.
