To audit Roblox DataStore code for security, scan your source files for unguarded operations and missing pcall wrappers. This identifies unsafe patterns that risk data loss and generates a severity-based report outlining critical issues.

Common DataStore anti-patterns include unguarded operations without pcall wrappers, inappropriate session locking, and missing schema versioning. Detecting these issues early prevents data corruption and ensures data integrity during player data flows.

Check if your DataStore calls are wrapped in pcall by scanning the codebase for DataStoreService usage. The audit validates that all reads, writes, and migrations include proper pcall error handling to prevent silent failures.

You should use UserId rather than Player Name to key user data in Roblox DataStores. UserIds are immutable and unique, preventing data loss when players change their names, which is a critical best practice for data integrity.

Yes, this DataStore audit covers MemoryStoreService usage and BindToClose handlers. It evaluates player data flows, session locking, and budget monitoring across both services to ensure robust data management and safe server shutdown procedures.

Schema versioning is explicitly tagging data structures with version numbers during DataStore migrations. You need it to manage data structure changes safely over time, preventing compatibility issues and data loss when updating your game.
