This looks like a neat framework to build games quickly — congrats!

I wonder how reliable the data store is since it’s not using a traditional database. Mainly thinking about performance and consistency.

Right now Hathora writes game data locally to disk. This is nice for the local dev experience since you don't need to have a db running locally.

For production use cases I've been mounting a networked drive (AWS EFS) to provide shared storage across nodes. It should be pretty easy add additional storage adapters (like Postgres) as well.
