DynamicPixels supports two backend types based on your use case:

• Shared Backend: In this mode, all games requests will handled by a shared server, It helps developers reduce costs when they develop new games or when they have low demand.

• Standalone Backend: This server type creates a new instance of server for each game, so you can control the number of instances and their power.

• Hybrid Cloud: If you need more power and control over your data, DynamicPixels can connect to your infrastructure, in this way, you can use the backend and dashboard with your custom servers.
