Welcome to the next exciting part of our Redis-based backend system project. In this unit, we will focus on building leaderboard functionality using Redis's sorted sets. Building a leaderboard is a popular use case for many applications, such as games and competitive platforms. You've got a good handle on managing user data from previous lessons, so let's build on that foundation.
- Adding user scores to a leaderboard: We will store user scores using Redis sorted sets.
- Retrieving the leaderboard: We will fetch and display the top users and their scores.
- Getting a user's rank and score: We will retrieve the ranking and score of a specific user.
Below are some key parts of the code you will be working with to perform these tasks.
This example demonstrates how to add a score for a user, retrieve the top scores, and fetch a user’s rank and score. You are familiar with the and commands from previous lessons. These commands are used to add scores and retrieve the leaderboard, respectively.
