So I am making a game in nextjs and I decided to keep the game data in an http cookie. So I made a few server actions to update the cookie etc. But all these post requests are getting kinda hacky. Is there a better way to do this? Maybe redis or smthn

normally when creating a game for public people you want to create a database and put the numbers/settings/data in general, there. So create a database, make a users table and put the userId (maybe with a secret) in the cookies. Make sure to give your user a secret so only the user can update it's own entry (and that without any login/password)

yea decided to go with the db
i have done the cookie stuff already, so i just created a games table, with a foreign key to link to the user
