I have created and published a app (a game basically) on chrome web store. Now i want to maintain a leaderboard for the best scores obtained in each level of the game.

Where can I get a free server space to store/retrieve the leaderboard?

Does chrome store has any inherent support this?

Chrome extensions/apps have sync storage options that are provided for free with a Google account. But not a centralized service to collect data (if you do not take Google Analytics into account).

Sticking with Google ecosystem, though, you might look into Google Apps Engine.

There's a certain free quota and your usage might fit into that. Then again, it might not, but worth a look.

Here's a few links on the topic:

  • Thanks. we deployed one java servlet (for maintaining leaderboard) in the app engine.. and our chrome_app requests for this data using ajax. works like charm :) – prembhaskal Jun 02 '14 at 10:52
