Junglee Games, a leader in the real money gaming industry, has consistently delivered engaging experiences to millions of users across the country. With flagship products like rummy, poker, and fantasy sports apps, they are at the forefront of the mobile gaming sector. To maintain their competitive edge, Junglee Games turned to Shorebird to enhance their app deployment and patching capabilities.

Moving fast for changing requirements

Facing the challenge of rapid feature deployment and bug fixes, especially during high-traffic events like the Indian Premier League (IPL), Junglee Games needed a solution that would allow them to quickly address live issues without disrupting the user experience. Their existing processes required full app rollouts, which over time became a blocking issue in their deployment flow.

Full app rollouts require a submission and review from the app stores, which is not a predictable process, even for small bug fixes. This meant that critical issues that were affecting users would end up facing launch delays. As a competitive game, it’s a requirement that all users are using the same code, a level playing field, regardless of the platform or whether their device has automatically updated their app that day. This made the waiting game with the review even harder for them to manage.

Shorebird Integration and Results

Junglee Games discovered Shorebird shortly after its launch and quickly integrated it into their Android platform. This integration enabled them to deploy over-the-air patches swiftly, reducing the time to address live issues from hours or days to mere minutes. The ability to control patch rollouts and deploy to limited sets of users for internal testing further streamlined their testing and deployment process.

With Shorebird OTA updates we are sure that if a user is launching the app that they have the latest patch and fixes available.

With Shorebird, Junglee Games achieved remarkable improvements in their deployment strategy:

  • Rapid Deployment - During the IPL season, they successfully deployed 18-20 releases in just 2-3 months, handling a 5x increase in traffic seamlessly.
  • Enhanced User Experience - The OTA capabilities allowed them to quickly fix live issues, ensuring minimal disruption to their vast user base.
  • Efficient Resource Utilization - By maintaining a single codebase for multiple products and leveraging Shorebird’s patching capabilities, Junglee Games significantly reduced development time and resource allocation especially in the testing and release phase.

Junglee Games’ partnership with Shorebird has been a game changer for their product, allowing them to maintain their position as a leader in the real money gaming industry. By embracing Shorebird’s solutions, they continue to deliver exceptional gaming experiences to their users, setting a benchmark for agility and efficiency in app deployment.

After integrating Shorebird into our release flow we no longer were afraid to experiment with features in our application. If an issue arises you can just rollback a patch easily instead of having to rush an emergency fix out the door.
