Back to collectionA-Zhen Maps the Handoff for a New Raijin Game
Background: A-Zhen, an engineer who had moved from chain-side work to Raijin integration, was handling the process of bringing a new game into the backend. Today: A-Zhen worked late on the new game’s integration. Impact and next steps: The work moved from simply connecting the systems toward clarifying responsibility, giving later tests a path for investigating problems.

Background: A-Zhen, an engineer who had moved from chain-side work to Raijin integration, was handling the process of bringing a new game into the backend. She worried that an integration could appear to work while leaving no clear way to trace a problem a player might later encounter.
Today: A-Zhen worked late on the new game’s integration. While laying out the process, she saw that the team first needed to specify which information came from the game and which parts the Raijin backend handled. Otherwise, a difference found in testing could send each side investigating separately. She wrote down that boundary as a question to confirm with the relevant developers, item by item.
Impact and next steps: The work moved from simply connecting the systems toward clarifying responsibility, giving later tests a path for investigating problems. It was still an integration effort, not a game release. A-Zhen’s next step was to check that both sides understood the process the same way, then address any differences they found.
