I've got the scoop! Dumping in 3...2..1....So our server load in maintaining our ever-expanding leaderboards has been slowly getting out of control and we've been looking around for solutions to cut out most of it. The amount of data 60+ tables, each with their own monthly/weekly/all-time leaderboard with hundreds of thousands of records in each from all kinds of platforms sorted into ranks might add up quickly (especially since we never clear them ) The new system currently in place is a good one given our current hardware but requires programming maintenance and its own infrastructure, so we're planning to move to a different solution in the near future which should keep most of the speed boost we are currently enjoying (it may not be quite as awesome, yet still pretty fast) and be much cleaner and simpler to operate. What this means for syncing web leaderboards is that we're going to jump ahead to interfacing with the future system even though it won't provide the boost until we are actually running on it. What this means for the game leaderboards is a theoretically seamless transfer, no interruption similar to what happened recently is anticipated. Anyway, that's the news!
