Load Balancer on AWS #246

Component your question relates to

Background

Hi! I'm an Unreal Engine programmer with limited experience in TypeScript, JavaScript, etc. We are developing a custom scaling system for our multiplayer game in AWS using a load balancer. The challenge is that the load balancer needs to know whether an instance is in use or not. We are using one instance per signaling server + Unreal Engine game, with only one player accessing each instance.

Question

How can we obtain data (using the AWS load balancer) to inform it when to launch a new instance or terminate an idle one? What approach do you use to manage this process?

In the upcoming release of 5.5 we have added a REST API that can be enabled that will allow you to query streamers and players connected to a particular signalling server. Would that be what you are looking for? You can see this API in the 5.5 branch here
