Hi, 8thwall newbie here. I’d like to create some sort of game where I save player’s progress. My guess is that I’d have to host this on my own website so it can access my players’ data, is this correct?
Assuming this is the case, I tried searching for self-hosting, but the search results mention “Pro license” which I don’t see on the pricing page ( 8th Wall ). So I’m wondering what plan would support this? Thanks!
You don’t need self hosting to do this. 8th Wall provides Backend Functions as a way to communicate with an external database through HTTP calls. You’d have to create a REST API or something similar using another service like Supabase for example, and then use the Backend Function as a way to communicate with the REST API so the client isn’t talking to the Database directly.
