Static room custom data limit?

Question

What is the limit of a static room custom data?

 

And is there a better way to store strings?

I want to store levels for my game online..

Answer 1

You should use room properties.

Why?
The room properties have a limit of 2048 bytes (which is very small), what is the limit of custom data?

room properties are a lot more flexible as compared to custom data which is just an opaque string. room property updates trigger notifications automatically but with custom data you need to either poll or have your own mechanism for detecting changes.

How much data do you need to store? AppWarp is only designed for small pieces of data. If you require to associate large amounts of data then its better to integrate with a 3rd party SDK for large data (eg: App42) and then just associate a link or ID of that data with the room.
