Roblox Server & Shared Data

When to Load

Load for server-level or cross-server data: leaderboards (OrderedDataStore), cross-server messaging (MessagingService), temporary queues and sorted maps (MemoryStoreService), shared world state, persistent non-player data, season/guild data. For player data (DataStore, ProfileStore, session locking), use roblox-data.

Quick Reference

OrderedDataStore (Leaderboards)

• Sortable DataStore. Keys are strings; use a stable key such as tostring(UserId).
• Values are integers used for sorting; choose the sign and ordering intentionally.
• GetSortedAsync(ascending, pageSize, minValue, maxValue) → sorted pages
• For leaderboards ONLY — not player data
