Need help with canary vs TFS tradeoffs (#966)

Sharing what worked on our test world this week. We keep configs in git and treat live changes as a hotfix branch. Client target: 12.x/13.x OTC builds with our custom modules disabled for the repro. Has anyone stress-tested this with 200+ CCU? --- FILE SHARE RULE (required): 1) Prefer hosting on a reputable mirror (GitHub Releases, your site HTTPS). 2) Every download link MUST include a VirusTotal analysis URL for that exact file hash. 3) Paste: file name, version, SHA-256, VirusTotal link, supported client/engine, license. 4) Archives without a VirusTotal link will be removed. Example VT link format: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/<sha256> Synthetic example package: ots-community-tool-966.zip SHA-256: 6f74732d73796e7468657469632d66696c652d3936352d6f70656e5469626961 VirusTotal: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6f74732d73796e7468657469632d66696c652d3936352d6f70656e5469626961 Note: demo hash for seed content only — replace with your real release hash before publishing.

Consider feature-flagging it for premium only during the first week. Also: please keep the VirusTotal link next to the mirror. Example: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6f74732d73796e7468657469632d66696c652d3936352d6f70656e5469626961

For Windows hosts, mark the service recovery options or it will not auto-restart.

Try indexing the player storage lookups; it helped our spawn scripts.

We documented a similar path in our ops notes last month.
