Room Cleanup

[sklee122]

We are developing a game service, and we create a room for our players to collaborate in while they are playing.  Each instance of a game (there are a lot of them) is assigned a unique room for the players to communicate in order to keep.  Once the game is complete, the room is no longer needed.

My question(s) are ones about the "tax" on your side of keeping these ghost rooms around.

- Do you guys clear out rooms that have not been used for a period of time?

- Is it a burden on your system for us not to clean them up? (i.e. do a server to server connection using your REST API to delete them)

- If needed, What would be your preferred approach for us to deal with these rooms that are no longer needed?

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve,

Good questions -

- We don't clear your rooms (you might want them!).

- Eventually, yes, it is a burden (it's space in our database).

- If it's no longer needed, have your servers call ours and use the REST API to delete the ones you don't need. Either as users are leaving the room, or once a night/week or so.

Sounds like we'll clean them up, thanks Nigel!
