When does this happen?

IF Creating a score and deleting it within ~20 seconds results in both API requests succeeding but the score persists.

How others solved it

THEN Implement idempotency or ensure that the delete operation waits for the creation to be fully committed. Consider using a distributed lock or transactional approach to avoid race conditions between POST and DELETE on the same resource.

// Conceptual example: ensure create is committed before delete
postScore(scoreId);
await waitForCommit(scoreId); // e.g., wait for eventual consistency
deleteScore(scoreId);
