Implement server-authoritative live ops logic using PlayFab CloudScript backed by Azure Functions

Steps

1. In Azure, create a Function App (Node.js or C#) and deploy a handler function; configure it with the PlayFab extension bundle so the context object is automatically populated with player and title info.
2. In Game Manager under Automation > CloudScript > Functions, register the Azure Function URL and assign it a function name used for invocation.
3. From a client, call ExecuteFunction with the registered function name and a JSON arguments object; the function receives player entity context without requiring a separate auth call.
4. Inside the function, use the PlayFab server SDK (or direct API calls with the title secret key from environment variables) to read/write player data, grant items, or update statistics.
5. Return a structured result object from the function; the client receives it in the FunctionResult field of the ExecuteFunction response.
6. Set up Revision Rules in Game Manager to control which function revision is live, enabling staged rollouts of logic changes.
