Is CloudScript being retired?!

My team has just made the very concerning discovery (out of the blue) that the overview and revisions for CloudScript are suddenly called "Legacy".

Can you please elaborate PlayFab's plans and timeline for the future of CloudScript?

Having a live product in the market and spotting a fundamental change like this by pure chance is very concerning. We are not in a position to convert all of our functionality over to Azure functions.

Yes, I was also surprised to see it this morning.. I did not see any mention about it anywhere before.

What's the best place to keep up to date about those kind of upcoming changes?

Sorry for the inconvenience! I can confirm you've used Legacy Cloud Script before. I will inform our engineering team to re-enable it for title 4DD7B.

Hello @Rick Chen, we have a live app and this change introduced two bugs. Our app isn't working now and we are getting customer complaints B95FB. We have been unable to resolve this problem and need assistance.

Hi @Jay Zuo @Rick Chen could you please enable Revisions for the title 9E28A as well? We have created game using our own studio with revisions pipeline (as Function were marked as "Preview" when we started and exited preview way after point we could switch) and now we need to transfer whole project to the client's newly created studio and title. But we cannot move revisions. Please help, we cannot rewrite hold thing using Functions on such short notice!

Hi Playfab team @Rick Chen @Brendan,

Can you please enable Legacy CloudScript Revisions for Title ID 96F9E?

We have been using Revisions for our previous Title 6E212, and we plan to clone the exact same Title setup to another new Title with a different database, but we realized that it has been changed to Azure Functions. We tried that and apparently we will need to rewrite the whole thing again in Azure Functions, including calls from both Unity and our site, which will take way too much production hours as we plan to launch our product and website soon.

Please do help with this. Thank you very much.

@Rick Chen You mention that we can still use JavaScript but the links on MSDN show only C#.
Where can we find JS examples for Azure Functions?

Do Playfab Azure Functions cost money to use ? I'm looking for an alternative to GameSparks so I'm trying out PlayFab for the first time and need to know whether I can still use Legacy CloudScript without the fear of it disappearing in the future. I don't have any problem using Playfab Azure Functions but something I read in the docs makes me think I'll get charged more money for using it. The PlayFab pricing structure has already become very complicated and almost impossible to predict how much a game on this platform will cost me to run so I don't need to have to worry about even more fees if I use Azure Functions. I'd rather just use the Legacy CloudScript if I can assured of future support ?

Yes, would like to see this clarified also. I am ok with re-learning yet another feature which worked in past over again, but need to be sure its not counterproductive.

UPDATE: I think I found the answer.And the answer is YES. You pay more money when using Azure (which is so much endorsed by Payfab) than by just using cloud script. Thats bad news... For small devs like me its a decision of spend time learning new stuff to do things that I already solved how to do in past and as a reward I will pay more money....seems like a great deal! :D .https://community.playfab.com/questions/57142/how-much-does-playfab-and-azure-functions-cost.html .
