Latency and region
The matchmaker takes the locations of your players into account, to create matches of players with low latency between them. While skill is the primary target the matchmaker observes, it ensures that only matches are created that provide a sufficiently low ping.
Notes on testing
We recommend doing any testing in two stages. In (1) integration testing you test the general functionality of your integration. This includes authentication, connectivity through websockets, and if required, integration into external hosting providers. In (2) performance testing, the behavior of the matchmaker under realistic load is tested.
