Challenge. Breshna lets anyone build video games without writing code. As the platform gained traction, its prototype ran into serious performance and security problems.
What we did. We traced the bottlenecks, then rewrote the parts of the system that needed to scale in Elixir, with Mnesia keeping shared cluster state fast and reliable. We also gave each creator’s code its own sandbox, so a broken or malicious game can’t affect anyone else’s.
Result. Performance improved 4.7x, and the platform met every safety goal Breshna’s team had set.
