Frequently change title data by players (Online jackpot feature)

We are working on a casino game and would like to add a jackpot feature that works like this:

  • A portion of all spendings from all players goes into a jackpot
  • One lucky player can claim the jackpot by performing a specific task within the game (hitting a huge win on a machine)
  • The jackpot resets for all players if one player claims it

Basically we need a variable for our title that gets frequently updated by our players.

Is the above possible with PlayFab? If yes, which features do we need to use?

Hi Niklas,

I can see that the jackpot will surely involve huge amount of updates, which is hard for title data to satisfy because it is not designed for frequent changes, especially when the number of players are growing increasingly. Therefore, it’s recommended to use an external database service such as Redis to handle such large amount of concurrent updates.
