Challenge
Developing Sportex presented significant technical hurdles in creating a seamless real-time cricket platform. The app needed to deliver instantaneous score updates and comprehensive statistics while managing massive user traffic spikes during major tournaments. The complexity was heightened by the need for millisecond-level synchronization of multiple data feeds to ensure real-time accuracy. The app had to perform flawlessly across various network conditions, from 2G to 5G, particularly in regions like India and Dubai, which posed a challenge in maintaining consistent performance. Additionally, the solution needed to handle 1M+ concurrent users during peak usage without latency issues, all within a 5-month timeline and a $50K budget.
Solutions
Implemented a custom real-time data pipeline using WebSockets and Node.js for near-instantaneous score updates.
Deployed multi-region AWS infrastructure with auto-scaling capabilities to handle traffic spikes during major tournaments.
Developed predictive algorithms for match outcomes with 87% accuracy.
Created an adaptive UI that adjusts content based on network speed to ensure seamless performance, even on low bandwidth.
Built a proprietary caching system to allow offline access to critical match data when the user’s connectivity is unstable.
Impact
Achieved 99.99% uptime during major tournaments.
Reduced data latency to 0.3 seconds (industry average: 2.5s).
Scaled successfully to handle 1.4M concurrent users.
Maintained consistent performance across 2G to 5G networks.
Delivered all features within budget and timeline constraints.
