Our Story

Built by a Developer, for Developers

horizOn started as a personal need and grew into a platform. Here's the honest story behind it.

Why horizOn Exists

I was working on a game project and needed a proper backend — not just a database, but the kind of infrastructure the big providers offer: globally distributed servers with low latency in Europe, the US, and Asia. Database replication, automatic backups, the works.

The problem? Every provider that offers this level of infrastructure — AWS, Firebase, PlayFab — charges per use. API calls, data transfer, compute time, it all adds up. I never knew what my monthly bill would look like, especially if the game gained traction.

That didn't seem right. As an indie developer, I needed to plan my budget, not watch usage meters and hope for the best. So I decided to build it myself.

Over time, it turned into a full Backend as a Service: authentication, cloud saves, leaderboards, remote config, news, gift codes, player feedback. I released SDKs for Unity and Godot so other developers could use it too.

Infrastructure You Can Trust

Global presence, replicated data, automated everything.

Multi-Region

Servers in Europe, the United States, and Asia. Your players connect to the nearest endpoint for the lowest latency.

Replicated Databases

Your data is replicated across multiple nodes. No single point of failure, no data loss.

Automated Backups

Regular automated backups with point-in-time recovery. Your data is safe even if the unexpected happens.

How Fixed Pricing Works

Most providers charge per API call, per GB transferred, per compute minute. We don't.

We run efficient, right-sized infrastructure instead of renting oversized cloud resources. No per-use metering overhead, no billing complexity — just honest pricing.

You pick a tier based on how many users you need. That's your monthly cost. Period. Whether your players make 10 API calls or 10,000 per day, your bill stays the same.
