Fanoz Sports — Scalable Fantasy Sports & Live Scoring Platform
Architecting India's advanced fantasy sports gaming platform with high-concurrency real-time prediction engines, automated rewards fulfillment, and multi-provider data ingestion pipelines.
Deep dive into scaling a platform to support 350,000+ peak concurrent users during high-volume sports tournaments like the IPL, reconciling payment entries, managing distributed reward pools with Redis, and optimizing score latency under 200ms.
Real-Time Data Pipeline Architecture
High-Performance Gaming Architecture
Fanoz Sports required a high-concurrency fantasy gaming ecosystem capable of processing real-time sports data from multiple providers, managing automated reward pools, and handling hundreds of thousands of concurrent users during major sporting events like the IPL.
The system integrates SportMonk, Roanuz, and SportRadar for live match data feeds, PlaySuper for contest management, and Xoxoday for reward fulfillment—all synchronized through custom CRON jobs and WebSocket connections.
A sophisticated rewards engine powered by Google AdMob and Amazon gift cards was implemented to drive user engagement, while Mailgun handled transactional emails for 500K+ monthly communications.
