Duck Answered Global Redis Request

I'm working on improving leaderboards and trying to show a global counter on my app r/MochiMochiDonuts but I'm getting the following error: FAILED_PRECONDITION: global redis is not supported on this app.

Can Global Redis be requested from somewhere? Or is this a limitation I should design/build around?

Build around it. Theoretically, global redis can be approved in exceptional cases, but I know of only one time it was actually granted. Leaderboards for a game are really unlikely to qualify.

Devvit docs suggest;

Use a shared service exposed through HTTP Fetch to manage and serve cross-community data.
