1	# Roblox Server & Shared Data
2
3	## When to Load
4
5	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`.
6
7	## Quick Reference
8
9	### OrderedDataStore (Leaderboards)
10	- Sortable DataStore. Keys are strings; use a stable key such as `tostring(UserId)`.
11	- Values are integers used for sorting; choose the sign and ordering intentionally.
12	- `GetSortedAsync(ascending, pageSize, minValue, maxValue)` → sorted pages
13	- For leaderboards ONLY — not player data
14
15	```luau
16	local D = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
17	local store = D:GetOrderedDataStore("LeaderboardCoins")
18	store:SetAsync(tostring(player.UserId), playerCoins)
19	local top10 = store:GetSortedAsync(false, 10):GetCurrentPage()
20	```
21
22	### MessagingService (Cross-Server)
23	- Real-time server communication: `SubscribeAsync` / `PublishAsync`
24	- No delivery or ordering guarantee; design for idempotency.
25
26	### GlobalDataStore (Shared State)
27	- Persistent non-player state such as guilds, seasons, and counters.
28	- Use `UpdateAsync`; never use it for player session data.
29
30	### MemoryStoreService (Temporary Coordination)
31	- Queues and sorted maps for expiring matchmaking, leases, and coordination.
32	- Remove a read batch only after successful, idempotent processing.
33	- Use MessagingService or TeleportData for notification and handoff.
34
35	### Persistent World State Patterns
36	- Building games: serialize player-built structures to DataStore and reload on join
37	- Seasons/leaderboards: OrderedDataStore for rankings, GlobalDataStore for metadata
38	- Guilds: GlobalDataStore by guild ID, MessagingService for live updates
39	- Economy counters: GlobalDataStore + `UpdateAsync` for atomic increments
40
41	### Cross-Server Patterns
42	- Register servers with expiring heartbeats; use MessagingService for notifications.
43
44	### Pitfalls
45	- MessagingService is fire-and-forget — no delivery guarantee, no ordering
46	- GlobalDataStore has same rate limits as player DataStores — don't spam
47	- OrderedDataStore keys are strings; values are integers used for sorting
48	- Never store Instances — serialize to primitives first
49	- UpdateAsync for any shared counter to prevent lost updates
