Systems and methods for applying a modification microservice to a game instance

A system for implementing a modification microservice with a game cloud system, comprising:

• the game cloud system configured to execute a game instance of a game, wherein the game instance is executed using a plurality of microservices assembled for the game instance, wherein the modification microservice includes:
• a security engine;
• an API processor coupled to the security engine;
• and
• a microservices connection manager coupled to the API processor,
• wherein the security engine is configured to:
• receive an API call from the modification microservice;
• wherein the API processor is configured to modify a microservices map based on the API call,
• wherein the microservices connection manager is configured to enable communication between the game instance and the modification microservice upon determining that that the API call is valid;
• and
• the modification microservice, wherein the game cloud system is configured to access the modification microservice engineered to be executed with the game instance, wherein the modification microservice is configured to add a compute capability to the game instance, wherein the modification microservice is configured to be executed outside of a server system in which the plurality of microservices is assembled for the game instance, wherein the modification microservice is configured to be accessed by the API call to obtain results data, wherein the results data is generated when the modification microservice is executed,
• wherein the game cloud system includes a modification interface configured to manage the access to the modification microservice and use of the results data by the game instance.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing program instructions for implementing a modification microservice with a game cloud system, wherein execution of the program instructions by one or more processors of a computer system causes the one or more processors to carry out operations of:

• executing, by the game cloud system, a game instance of a game, wherein the game instance is executed using a plurality of microservices assembled for the game instance;
• receiving an application programming interface (API) call from the modification microservice;
• modifying a microservices map based on the API call;
• enabling communication between the game instance and the modification microservice upon determining that the API call is valid;
• and
• accessing the modification microservice engineered to be executed with the game instance, wherein the modification microservice is configured to add a compute capability to the game instance, wherein the modification microservice is configured to be executed outside of a server system in which the plurality of microservices is assembled for the game instance, wherein the modification microservice is configured to be accessed by the API call that obtain results data from said execution of the modification microservice,
• wherein the API call is managed via a modification interface that manages said accessing of the modification microservice and use of the results data by said game instance.
