Leaderboard bucket support a la Clash of Clans
Hi.
One of features planned for Q4 2018 was leaderboard buckets. What's the status of this feature? Has this feature been rolled out? Is there documentation for this feature? Does this feature allow developers to create a leaderboard scheme similar to Clash of Clans where users are placed into prize tiers based on the leaderboard score with the top X players in the highest tier evaluated by their leaderboard ranking?
Thanks.
Chris

You can get the latest progress of this feature from here: https://blog.playfab.com/blog/upcoming-roadmap-2019-q1-jan-march-edition . As for the documentation, there is currently no detailed documentation about Leaderboard bucket as it is currently under development and some features may be modified, So I can't guarantee what the specific function of the public version.
If you are interested in early access to this feature set and are in the Professional or Enterprise tier, you can apply for the private preview.
In addition, please key an eye on the blog to get the latest news.
Thanks for the update. If we didn't want to wait for leaderboard bucket support, is there a best practice for implementing said feature?
Since the legacy statistics/leaderboard system does not support bucketing users, you would need to use an external data store. I'd suggest having a look at Redis as a starting place.
