FIG 1 — G3XNSBR PLATFORM

01 The Challenge

The server's web infrastructure was built on extremely outdated patterns that severely impacted performance and consumed limited server resources inefficiently. With 800+ active players monthly depending on the platform, the legacy system was becoming unsustainable and affecting the entire gaming experience.

  • Legacy web stack causing severe performance bottlenecks
  • Inefficient infrastructure resource consumption
  • Outdated database architecture limiting scalability

02 The Process

A phased migration approach ensured zero downtime for the 800+ active players while completely rebuilding the platform underneath.

Phase 01

Audit & Planning

Mapped all legacy endpoints, database schemas, and identified performance bottlenecks impacting player experience.

Phase 02

Database Migration

Redesigned the schema with Drizzle ORM and migrated all data to Supabase with zero data loss.

Phase 03

Frontend Rebuild

Built the new React + Vite frontend with modern UI patterns, real-time player data, and optimized asset loading.

Phase 04

Deploy & Monitor

Deployed with Bun runtime, set up monitoring, and validated performance metrics against legacy baseline.

database.config.ts
01import { drizzle } from 'drizzle-orm/postgres-js'
02import postgres from 'postgres'
03
04// Supabase connection with Drizzle ORM
05const client = postgres(process.env.DATABASE_URL!)
06export const db = drizzle(client)
07
08// Modern type-safe queries replacing legacy SQL
09const players = await db.select().from(playerTable)

03 The Solution

We completely rebuilt the web infrastructure from the ground up. The frontend was migrated to a modern React + Vite stack, replacing outdated patterns with a fast, component-based architecture. The backend APIs were rewritten using Bun runtime with Drizzle ORM, providing type safety and significantly better performance than the legacy Node.js setup.

The entire database was remodeled and migrated to Supabase, eliminating the old inefficient schema and leveraging modern PostgreSQL features. This modernization dramatically reduced infrastructure resource consumption while serving the same 800+ monthly active Counter-Strike: Source players. Only the game server remains from the legacy system - everything else is now state-of-the-art.

04 The Results

The migration delivered dramatic improvements across every metric, with the platform now running faster on fewer resources.

A complete infrastructure modernization that improved performance by 10x while reducing server costs by more than half.
