Sports Data Aggregation Platform

An existing sports data aggregation platform was already in place, but it required significant improvements to handle larger datasets, improve performance and enhance the user experience. The platform needed to fetch and display real-time sports data (e.g. live scores, upcoming games, leagues, teams and news) for multiple sports, including soccer, basketball, hockey, Formula 1, baseball and American football. Additionally, the database (MongoDB) required optimization to handle increased data loads efficiently.

We enhanced the platform by restructuring the data flow, optimizing the MongoDB database and improving the frontend UI/UX. Key improvements included: database optimizations such as adding indexes and improving query performance to handle larger datasets efficiently, reorganizing the data models to better align with the API responses and frontend requirements. Redesigning and adding new pages to improve navigation and user experience and fetching and utilizing more data from the API to provide more information. The platform now displays upcoming games with schedules for future matches across all supported sports, detailed information about leagues, teams and players, a news feed with short summaries and links to full articles. Supported sports include soccer, basketball, hockey, Formula 1, baseball and American football.
