Project Description.
Project Skylar is for educational use only and is not intended for commercial distribution. The project was a proof-of-concept for designing and implementing a distributed systems architecture for the backend servers. The main concept is to allow backend servers to clone themselves, create new instances with similar configurations, and deploy them in a production environment (horizontal scaling). Scaling gets triggered when game servers are unable to handle more network traffic and throughput.
Now after finishing with all the backend development and my studies, I decided to release the source code.
Enjoy coding your way through. I made sure to document every script before leaving it behind. Consider adding more features, and don't forget to share it with everyone!
