Question from a developer:
In order to set up PlayFab as an Independent Server in the Nintendo developer site, there are a few pieces of information needed:
1. Encryption/signing methods
2. Operations during outages/maintenance
3. Regular maintenance
How should these be answered?
1. All Web API calls to (and the responses from) PlayFab are secured with TLS 1.2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security#TLS_1.2). If you are using a custom game server, any client communication with it would be your implementation.
2. and 3. PlayFab does not have maintenance windows. All updates are made "hot". Our process is that once all testing is complete for an update, we roll it live on a set of servers and then start directing a small percentage of traffic to it. If all goes well, we scale up the total traffic going to the new servers until we reach 100%. We don't interfere in your game's interface in any way, so if you get back an error from a call due to a temporary issue with a particular endpoint, any messaging would again be your implementation.
