LSports’ primary challenge involved the need for a robust system capable of handling complex and varied data structures in real-time. They were specifically looking for a solution that could efficiently process vast amounts of sports data, including both historical and current event data, for their real-time monitoring and analytics services.
One of the key services that required real-time data queries was their internal solution provided to customers, focused on real-time monitoring of sport events. This service encompassed LSports’ comprehensive inventory of sports events, detailing the supported bets and the markets available in the sports industry. The existing MySQL system was inadequate for this extensive data load, leading to unacceptably long query times. The inefficiency in data processing, coupled with the challenge of integrating different data sources into a single, coherent system, significantly inhibited LSports’ ability to offer timely and precise sports data analytics.
