Introduction

Datalink

Datalink is a tool intended to provide Roblox Developers with critical & detailed analysis surrounding both Player & Game state & data in a Roblox Experience.

Product Summary

Datalink will provide a suite of interfaces which help to destinguish and expose information regarding state, health, mobility, player data + more. A portion of what we have planned is listed below:

  • Game/Experience State
    • State is defined by the contextual agreement surrounding a servers ability to perform, allow users to join, remove and update datastores.
    • For example, The State field could include:
      • Servers Per Hour, Day, Month, Annum

  • Game/Experience Health
    • Health is defined by how much CPU, Memory, Processing Time is being taken up by the server.
    • Additionally, we can look further and provide feedback regarding player crashing rates, reproduction steps on how these players might of crashed and potential fixes if any are common.

  • Data
    • Data includes all kinds of information regading the places inside of your Roblox Experience.
    • Custom Developer Events will also be counted under this field, as we are unable to process specifics in your events.

  • So, so much more!
    • We're still yet and looking into providing so much more which'll help improve the scalability of your experience!
    • Some other examples of what we're planning to ship datalink including:
      • Fast/Feature Flags
      • DataStore, MemoryStore & MessagingService wrappers
