Earlier this month, nearly a hundred Rioters traveled to Las Vegas to attend AWS re:Invent, a weeklong conference hosted by AWS. This year, we also had a number of activations for attendees, letting allowing us to deepen our engagement with the global cloud community and celebrate our games and IP. In this article, we’ll give a quick recap of our presence - the presentations, the booths, the party - and a human grab claw!
Heyo! We’re Cody Haas and Ivan Vidal, and we’re engineers on the Riot Direct team. It’s been a while since you’ve heard from our team. So in this article, we’re going to tell you a bit about what we’ve done to reinforce consistent and stable connections, reduce latency, and improve the overall player experience for our entire multi-game portfolio.
My name is Brian "Bizaym" Teschke. I'm a software engineer on a central technology team at Riot Games called Developer Connections and we’ve seen all kinds of system instability issues. My team is responsible for solving common problems across game teams so they can just focus on making awesome games. We often have to write programs that interface with several APIs and libraries - both internal and external - each with their own quirks and inconsistencies. This has allowed us to see patterns of both issues and resolutions, which I’m looking forward to outlining for you in this post.
Hello! I’m James “WxWatch” Glenn and I’m a software engineer on the Riot Developer Experience: Operability (RDX:OP) team. My team focuses on providing tools for Riot engineers and operations teams that help them better understand the state of their live services across the globe. Some of these tools include Riot’s service metrics, logging, and alerting pipelines. In this article, I’ll be talking about our one-stop-shop application for Rioters operating services - Console.
The Riot internship program exists to help players drive their professional and personal development. This is the second post in the 2020 intern series - be sure to check out the first post as well.
The Riot internship program helps technical players drive their professional growth by embedding them on tech teams and having them contribute to impactful, exciting technology projects. Last year we published an article by some of our interns, giving readers a glimpse at the projects technical interns get to work on. We’re doing a follow-up this year, but with additional sections to reflect our new games.
There were so many interns excited to contribute to this article that this year we’ll be doing a 2-part series. Intern stories are sorted into categories - the first post (this one) includes all blurbs for League of Legends, TFT, & VALORANT, and the second post focuses on General Game Tech & Tooling/Infrastructure.
Hello! My name is Tomasz Mozolewski, and I’m a senior software engineer on our Competitive team. I’m here to talk about an event that has sparked a lot of discussion about League tech, and which happens to be one of the most requested Tech Blog topics of all time - Clash.
Our technical interns worked with fellow Rioter technologists on everything from game engineering to developer tooling. Before they left, we asked some of them to share projects they contributed to, and to tell their stories of interning at Riot.
Hello all, Leigh Estes, aka RiotSchmick, here. I’m a software engineer at Riot Games working on the Riot Developer Experience team. Our responsibilities include providing the edge infrastructure that supports both internal and external developers. I previously wrote a series on the infrastructure that supports our public API product. I’m excited to revisit this series to tell you more about a new part of our infrastructure - the feature we call transforms.
Hi, I'm Guy "RiotSomeOtherGuy" Kisel, a software engineer at Riot. You might remember me from Running an Automated Test Pipeline for the League Client Update. I work on the Riot Developer Experience team - our responsibilities include providing Jenkins servers and related infrastructure for engineers to use for building, testing, and shipping their software to the millions of players that play League of Legends.
