Is there a way to use the Client SDK in a stateless manner?

We encountered this issue as well.

Our current workaround is to avoid using the PlayFabSDK and directly make API calls via axios.

Example snippet:

const PLAYFAB_URL = `https://${PlayFab.settings.titleId}.playfabapi.com`;
export class PlayfabTitleRequestSession {
  private _entityToken: string | undefined;
  private requestTitleEntityToken = (): Promise<
    PlayFabAuthenticationModels.GetEntityTokenResponse
  > =>
    new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      axios
        .post(
          `${PLAYFAB_URL}/Authentication/GetEntityToken`,
          {
            Id: '231',
            Type: 'title',
          },
          {
            headers: {
              'X-SecretKey': PlayFab.settings.developerSecretKey,
            },
          }
        )
        .then(response => resolve(response?.data?.data))
        .catch(err => reject(err));
    });

  private titleEntityToken = async (): Promise<string> => {
    if (this._entityToken) return this._entityToken;
    const entityToken = (await this.requestTitleEntityToken()).EntityToken;
    this._entityToken = entityToken || '';
    return this._entityToken;
  };

  private playfabRequest = async <T>(endpoint: string, parameters: object): Promise<T> => {
    const entityToken = await this.titleEntityToken();
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      axios
        .post(endpoint, parameters, {
          headers: {
            'X-EntityToken': entityToken,
          },
        })
        .then(response => resolve(response?.data?.data))
        .catch(err => reject(err));
    });
  };

  startServer = async (
    sessionId: string,
    sessionCookie: SessionCookieType,
    buildId: string,
    preferredRegions = ['EastUs']
  ) =>
    this.playfabRequest<PlayFabMultiplayerModels.RequestMultiplayerServerResponse>(
      `${PLAYFAB_URL}/MultiplayerServer/RequestMultiplayerServer`,
      {
        BuildId: buildId,
        PreferredRegions: preferredRegions,
        SessionCookie: JSON.stringify(sessionCookie),
        SessionId: sessionId,
      }
    );

  shutdownServer = async (sessionId: string) =>
    this.playfabRequest<PlayFabMultiplayerModels.EmptyResponse>(
      `${PLAYFAB_URL}/MultiplayerServer/ShutdownMultiplayerServer`,
      {
        SessionId: sessionId,
      }
    );
}

Thanks for your answer @IanGallacher I totally missed it, but I ended up doing the same. I consider publishing it, but not sure I want to take on the maintenance burden.
