Sending data between servers?

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    A type of social media for a project of mine. Lets say a player types “Hello World”. Then they enter it, I want that text to go from that server to all the other servers, is there a way to do that?
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    No issues, just brainstorming
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I was thinking of making an external api using python or something, then post the string to the api, yet i’m not sure I can get that string from a different server. Another thought was having a data base for all the strings, or a server that once I send a string it stores it in a database. Then in other servers I load the strings in from that database. Although this could be potentially bad in terms of performance, unless I clear that data base. If i can’t do the string to multiple servers thing, maybe I can do a client to client type messaging thing instead of the social media style thing.

I’m familiar with python and java script if any options use those languages.

This is specifically the purpose of the MessagingService:

It allows you to easily transfer data between servers, using SubscribeAsync and PublishAsync. It does have limits, but works amazingly in most situations.

Thanks! I should’ve done a bit more research inside the roblox side, I convinced myself that I had to do it externally
