The Core Problem

Live sports platforms depend entirely on third-party data—and that data is rarely consistent. Providers differ in latency, accuracy, and completeness, and performance can change mid-match. Relying on a single provider creates an immediate single point of failure.

The real challenge was not fetching data—it was deciding which data to trust, in real time, under live conditions.

How We Solved It

Provider Aggregation

Built a provider-agnostic abstraction layer that ingests multiple sports data APIs in parallel—removing hard dependency on any single source.

Ultra-Low Latency Delivery

Designed a real-time distribution pipeline using Redis Pub/Sub to propagate validated match updates instantly across mobile and web clients.

Real-time Decision Logic

Implemented live scoring logic to continuously evaluate providers on latency, completeness, and historical reliability—with automatic switching when thresholds were breached.

Outcome

Eliminated

Single-provider dependency risk

Improved

Accuracy and speed of live match updates under load

Maintained

Uninterrupted service during provider degradation
