How often can GetAsync and UpdateAsync be called? In a building game that save players creations, should UpdateAsync be call every time a building item is placed or should UpdateAsync be call once though PlayerRemoving?

PlayerRemoving is not very safe, I would probably do every 2 or 3 items |
|
|
i would call it every time an object is placed, and have a debounce of about .5 on placing new items.

Alight, PlayerRemoving it is. Data Store is reliable with PlayerRemoving right? |

You should never use PlayerRemoving to save things. |

The problem with PlayerRemoving is that if the server crashes, the data is never saved. I'd suggest doing it at 5 minute intervals or something reasonable, but only do it if something has actually changed. |

One does not simply insert a service. They are sorta already there when the game starts, GetService and service both just reveal them, not create them. |

I know this is off-topic but Dued1 you're awesome!
You're probably the only classic Roblox game developer still active. |
