The Opportunity

Problem

Gaming startups in Djibouti cannot reliably host online multiplayer games or esports events due to inconsistent high-speed internet.

Solution

NetForge deploys serverless game proxies on AWS/JD Cape Town edges, with intelligent traffic shaping for Djibouti ISPs. Startups configure virtual servers via dashboard, getting low-latency hosting without local infra. Dynamic bandwidth throttling prevents drops during peaks.
