RedditPlayRust
A community-driven Rust gaming experience.
The brief.
RedditPlayRust came to us with a thriving community and a problem worth having — too many players. Their existing tooling couldn't keep up with realtime leaderboards, moderation, and player stats across hundreds of thousands of monthly players, and launch season was around the corner.
A look inside.
From live leaderboards to the moderation dashboard, every surface was designed to feel instant and stay legible under load.
Realtime leaderboard overview
The challenge.
Every second counts on a live game server. We needed leaderboards that updated in realtime, support tooling moderators could actually rely on, and an architecture that wouldn't fall over on launch night when traffic spikes by an order of magnitude.
Players per year
What we built.
We delivered a realtime leaderboard pipeline, a moderation dashboard, and a public stats portal — all backed by a horizontally-scalable .NET service layer and a snappy React frontend. The result handles peak traffic without breaking a sweat.
Built on a stack that scales.
The results.
Launch night went off without a hitch — 99.9% uptime while concurrent players climbed past every previous record.
Moderators cut response times dramatically with tooling built around how they actually work, and the public stats portal became a community favourite in its own right.
A year on, the platform comfortably serves 120,000+ monthly players with headroom to spare.
