[DataStore] Uptime guarantee

The last few months we saw a lot of complains about DataStore (The Service was for example ‘Out of Service’, or it was slow (Yesterday)).

DataStores are criticial for any game to actually save/load data.

A few questions regarding DataStores.

  1. Why can’t you guys guarantee that DataStores are 100% online (Since this should be the case, as a important part of ROBLOX Game development)
  2. Could you give us advice regarding ‘Checking or we can actually save/load’.

It would be foolhardy to make a 100% uptime guarantee. Literally no company that knows what they are doing would do such a thing. However, it wouldn’t hurt for them to give us a reasonable number.

I can understand that fact, but just a property or something so that we can actually check or the DataStore Service is online and fully functional would be a huge relief.

I’m literally scared to death that my Players lose data or that the Data gets over riden.
