A mobile puzzle game with four million daily players shows a global leaderboard and one per country, both updated the instant a player finishes a level. Players open the leaderboard constantly to see their own rank and the ten players either side of them, so reads must come back in a few milliseconds even at peak. The team wants one managed store that keeps scores in sorted order natively and holds them durably, so that a node failure never resets anyone's rank and there is no separate database to keep in step. The game already calls an HTTPS API, and the backend should scale with players without servers to manage.
