Limits, PayAsYouGo & Where to store huge amount of data per Player,Limits & Where to store huge amount of data?
Hey, i have some questions.
1) Where can i store a huge amount of data? More specific: I want to store 5k key-value entries per Player and as each value there would be a number from 0 - 100 mio. I want to store some values per day, that i can later check which is the highest one per day/highest 3 ones of the week.
2) Is there a way to go with the free/dev plan over 30 Statistic Entries per player? Because i actually need about 200-500 per player (for leaderboard, if they participate there)
3) on https://playfab.com/pricing/ it says for the Pay-As-you-go Plan "$0.33 per million reads". What does the "million reads" exactly means? Does it means per mio requests from the API? Or per million data requested/read?
Sry, i am new here. I dont find the button to remove the duplicated text. Its actually just 2x the same text.

- Though many resources on PlayFab are stored as KVP, you may store the data you have mentioned as a JSON in the value field. Surely additional serialization and deserialization codes should be implemented in the client. However, 5K KVP entries are certainly unnecessary, and it is a waste of resources. Frequently modifying data may increase the cost of your title. Since there are only 2 goals in your scenario – “highest one per day” and “highest 3 ones of the week”. You may implement a cloud script function, where data will be verified and updated in a maximum aggregation. The function will compare the new value with the current value, and only does the update when it is larger. You may store the 7 KVP entries for 7days a week, so that the highest 3 ones of the week can be found out easily.
- In the current pricing model, the Development Mode titles already can create 300 leaderboards by default.
- The read and write of a profile is separate. Please refer to the documentation on Pricing Meters - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs and PlayFab Consumption Best Practices - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs. “$0.33 per million reads” means every 1,000,000 times of profile reads, PlayFab will charge $0.33.

Thank you!
1) Its not only 3 per week. that was just an example. We actually want to store also the best 12 per month and the same with 48 for the year. In json i can use an array, which should be enough i guess. Currently i tested out player title data where the value is the string holder for the data.
2) Ah yea, thx. I have seen that some hours ago in the limits tab. That saved my life :D
3) Okay thx. I will upgrade, once we are getting enough money for it
