Do More With Less: The FlameCord Efficiency Advantage

In server management, every megabyte of RAM counts. While backend game servers are notoriously memory-hungry, your proxy shouldn't be. An efficient, lightweight proxy is essential for a healthy and cost-effective network. FlameCord is meticulously optimized to have one of the lowest memory footprints of any proxy, and this translates to direct benefits for you.

How Does FlameCord Reduce Memory Usage?

Our philosophy is simple: a proxy should be a lean, specialized tool, not a bloated application. We achieve this through several key strategies:

  1. Optimized BungeeCord Base: We start with the stable and universally compatible BungeeCord core. From there, we analyze and remove non-essential features and code pathways that consume memory without providing critical functionality.
  2. Efficient Data Handling: FlameCord refines how player data and packets are handled in memory. By optimizing these core processes, we prevent memory leaks and ensure that RAM is used and released efficiently, even with hundreds of players online.
  3. Integrated Features: By building our advanced anti-bot and security features directly into the core, we avoid the overhead of running multiple, separate security plugins. A single, integrated system is always more memory-efficient than a collection of disparate ones.

What This Means For Your Server

A low-memory proxy isn't just a technical detail; it has a real-world impact on your server's operation:

  • More RAM for Your Game Servers: The most significant benefit. Every megabyte of RAM saved on the proxy is another megabyte you can allocate to your Spigot or Paper servers. This means you can support more plugins, larger worlds, and a higher player count without lag.
  • Lower Hosting Costs: By running a more efficient proxy, you may be able to use a smaller, less expensive VPS or dedicated server for it, reducing your monthly hosting bills.
  • Improved Stability: A proxy with a low and stable memory usage is less prone to crashes or performance degradation over time. This leads to better uptime and a more reliable experience for your players.

FlameCord proves that you don't need to sacrifice features for efficiency. By choosing a proxy that is consciously designed to be lightweight, you are building your network on a foundation of stability and performance, allowing you to invest your resources where they matter most: the gameplay experience.
