Is playfab alone enough for a statbased only game

So the game idea here is similar to idle miner, but in largescale multiplayer, lets say our goal is thousands of users. Is playfab with cloudscripts enough or is a photonserver recomenden for such a task? We need all important data serverside so we got no cheaters.

thanks nico.

It's hard to answer your question just based on the information you've provided. The answer could vary based on the scope and feature-set of the experience you're trying to build for your players. PlayFab's cloudscript and statistics will absolutely scale to thousands of players (or millions), but there may be other reasons to go with a solution like Photon (or, of course, a hybrid).

I don't want to go so far as suggesting a solution or an architecture right now, but I would advise trying to build out what you're thinking on PlayFab and then get back to us when you encounter specific hurdles.
