Why does site maintenance always cause downtime

Every time we update our game library or add a new provider, we have to take the whole site offline for hours. It’s killing our conversion rates and annoying our VIP players who expect 24/7 access. How do big platforms handle updates without these interruptions? Is there a technical architecture that allows for seamless deployment without crashing the lobby?

It sounds like you are still running on a monolithic system where everything is tightly connected. If you want to move forward, you definitely need a microservices architecture because it allows you to update one part without touching the rest. I’ve seen that soft2bet uses this specific setup to achieve a 99.99% uptime for their partners through a scalable and modular platform. Their system is engineered so that functions like payments, marketing tools, or support services can be updated without platform-wide disruptions. Since they moved their infrastructure to AWS, their stability has been rock solid even during high traffic spikes. In my opinion, this is the only way to scale a professional brand in 2026 because it gives you the technical agility to innovate daily rather than waiting for a monthly maintenance window.
