Flashsport – Sports news at the speed of light

Livesport is the global number one in providing sports news which is searched by 90 million people each month all around the world. Within our long-term cooperation, we created a unique platform for providing sports news – fast, clear and tailor-made to each individual user. Thanks to that, they can follow all sports events in one single spot.

The beginning was our smart reader of content Tapito. Especially thanks to the used technologies and our experience, Livesport decided to select us as a partner to develop a brand new product after Tapito was bought out. The new product had to fulfill high technological expectations, enabling the selected content to be delivered to users almost in real time.

How to best satisfy enthusiastic sports fans? The deciding factor is the speed. That is why we used gRPC technology and created mobile and web applications that can aggregate articles on the topic of sports from all relevant sources at the speed of light. Thanks to that, the users can get a complete overview in a blink of an eye about what is going on in the world of the sport that they are interested in.

Speed and flexibility had a key role from the very beginning. Thanks to the close cooperation with the internal Livesport team, we were part of all the project phases – from the consultation of UX design, through the sharing of versioning tools and databases of data to the load tests. The agile approach enabled us to share our technological know-how more efficiently and react faster to the client's requirements. The results are the applications reflecting this principle in their relationship with the user.
