I plan to use Manifest for hosting a leaderboard. Any advice?
I am a game developer, and this is the first time I plan to make my own leaderboard instead of using Apple's Game Center. I am excited, but this is my first time hosting a database.
Manifest has been easy to setup, and I think it will fit my needs. Any starter tips for my use case?

First of all good luck with using it, hope u'll enjoy
Advice - implement it as u see and do 2 things before production:
- write features roadmap - to see is manifest able to solve them without overheads on extending usecases
- write stress-tests on how long manifest will cover your requirements (how many active users could work with your leaderboard)
Thank you @Joe Beretta -- I did some additional planning, and I am more confident that this will fit my needs. My only question at the moment is:
How should I make my first admin account when the time comes to deploy a release to production? The docs mention that the seed command will create the first Admin user, but the docs also mention that I shouldn't use the seed command because it wipes the data. Should I use
seed the very first time, and then quickly change the password for the Admin, and then change the start string that is mentioned in the docsI think u have to seed it and login and change the default password while logged in for 1st time
Hello @Shant Tokatyan if you deploy an instance with an empty database (or without DB), you will see a screen where you can create your first admin user
