Case Study: FanDuel Sports Network achieves scalable live sports streaming with Mercury Intermedia

FanDuel Sports Network supports tens of thousands of concurrent viewers with Mercury Intermedia

FanDuel Sports Network, a major local sports media platform, faced the challenge of moving its digital infrastructure away from a third-party platform to develop an owned-and-operated system it could manage in-house. To achieve this, it partnered with vendor Mercury Intermedia to build a reliable and scalable full-stack solution.

Mercury Intermedia implemented a custom-built, scalable backend and a flexible middleware API layer capable of handling tens of thousands of concurrent viewers during peak traffic. The solution seamlessly integrated numerous third-party services and provided a smooth, user-friendly experience across all devices, successfully allowing the network to manage its complex direct-to-consumer needs without service interruptions.
