An IDL compiler written in Luau for ROBLOX buffer networking
Performance
Blink aims to generate the most performant and bandwidth-efficient code for your specific experience, but what does this mean?
It means lower bandwidth usage directly resulting in lower ping* experienced by players and secondly, it means lower CPU usage compared to more generalized networking solutions.
* In comparison to standard ROBLOX networking, this may not always be the case but should never result in increased ping times.
Benchmarks are available here here.
Security
Blink does two things to combat bad actors:
- Data sent by clients will be validated on the receiving side before reaching any critical game code.
- As a result of the compression done by Blink it becomes significantly harder to snoop on your game's network traffic. Long gone are the days of skids using RemoteSpy to snoop on your game's traffic.
