Cloud Script Legacy Porting to Azure

Hello! My studio has currently operating several titles in Playfab.

We are creating new titles with code based on what we currently have published on PlayFab, and it makes extensive use of Cloud Script Legacy.

Currently, we see that CloudScript is marked as 'Legacy'. Then the following questions arise:

For Cloud Script 'Legacy', does PlayFab have any kind of roadmap of its future?
If we have to migrate code from Cloud Script Legacy to the new system, our first impression is that it would be faster to use JavaScript in Azure Cloud Script. Is there any kind of documentation from Playfab explaining how to port from Cloud Script 'Legacy' to Cloud Script 'Azure'? Perhaps Playfab could offer some tool for this?

Thanks!

All I know is that the legacy cloud script will be disabled sometime in the future with clear notice in advance.

JavaScript is one of the languages supported by Azure Functions, you can get started with Quickstart: Writing a PlayFab CloudScript using Azure Functions and Quickstart: Create a JavaScript function in Azure using Visual Studio Code. But there is no official tool to help you port from Legacy Cloud Script to Azure Functions, you may need to manually implement Legacy Cloud Script methods in Azure Function.

Hi, any idea about "clear notice in advance" timing? This is, one year? one month? We are now working on a product and will be very helpful for us to know if can continue working right now with Cloud Script Legacy, and later on do the porting.

We do not know the specific time, this time should be relatively abundant, but we still recommend that you migrate to Azure Function as soon as possible.
