Playfab cloudcripts Wondering

Hi guys. I am making a Game that have gems and hight score. And the Gems have to update every game and the games is like 2 sec to 5 min gameplay. Why i have to update every game? Is because if the player exit the app witch mean the gems will never be save in the statistic. And here is the questions.

(1) What would i store the gems data? In the statistic or in the player data in this case?

(2) Imagine if you guys suggest me to use cloudscript to update the gems to the stats. Will it be practical to call update with the cloud scripts so often? Will it break the game if i call it to much?

If you require a potential update rate of 2 seconds, you're going to have to use a "caching" server model. The PlayFab statistics and data systems aren't a Redis (in-memory) type system, so high frequency reads and writes aren't how you would use them. In this model (caching), you would run a custom game server. Clients would connect to that server, it would read their data from the service, and then you could update at any rate you desire. The server them updates the PlayFab hosted data periodically (every could of minutes, for example).

For question 1: What would i store the gems data? In the statistic or in the player data in this case?

What’s the structure of your gems data? Is it a <string, int> key-value pair? And, how do you want to utilize this data? For instance, do you need to create a leaderboard and other related features for it?

Its a int, and its a gems so i dont think that i gonna need a leaderboard for it, just for the score. But maybe is a good thing just to have the gems leaderboard just inside the playfab, so i can know who have the most gems i likely hacked the game.
