Problem

Abzooba needs a regional revenue leaderboard for its customer analytics platform. Assume the reporting date is 2025-03-31, and the last 30 days means 2025-03-02 through 2025-03-31, inclusive. Write a PostgreSQL query to identify the top three customers by completed-order revenue in each region.

Requirements

Join customers to regions and orders.
Include only completed orders within the stated 30-day window.
Calculate revenue as quantity * unit_price per customer, treating missing revenue as zero.
Rank customers independently within each region and return at most three per region.
Sort by region, revenue descending, and customer ID as a deterministic tie-breaker.
