# Flock

> The game backend that handles players, economies, and live operations — so you can focus on the game.

Flock is the game backend by **Qwacks**. It gives your game player accounts, save data,
shops and inventories, currencies and wallets, leaderboards, segments, remote configuration,
and analytics — all through native SDKs that handle the backend for you.

## How it fits together

A **studio** owns one or more **games**. Each game has **versions** you publish over time, and
**players** who sign in and accumulate data, inventory, and currency. Your game integrates the
Flock **SDK**, configured once with your game's credentials; players then sign in through the SDK
to get their own profile, save data, and inventory.

  Configure games and grab credentials in the [Flock dashboard](https://flock-saas.qwacks.com). The
  SDK handles everything else — see the [Quickstart](/quickstart).
