Fortnite Server/Networking solution

Good morning all,
I am wondering if anyone has any thought on how fortnite managed their server solution within the battle royale type?
Obviously when the game loads, it logs into a dedicated server hosted by Epic… whwn you join a game, it proceeds to matchmake and the game begins… is this is launching a fresh dedicated server hosted by Epic each time? I highly doubt they are using the client to server inbuilt system

thanks

They most likely have dedicated servers on standby, the matchmaking system will look for the a server which is the closest to the players and connect all clients to that server. That’s just my guess though.
