Developers' cumulative revenue share from Tencent's open platform reached RMB 1 bln this year, with three developers each taking in over RMB 20 mln in monthly revenue.

Since launching two years ago, Tencent's cloud platform hosts over 25 developers with more than 1 mln daily active users and more than 30 developers with over 100,000 peak concurrent users. The platform consists of over 20,000 servers. Tencent plans to open its cloud platform to developers outside of Tencent's open platform next year.
