Case Study: FanHub achieves realtime, low-latency interactive sports fan apps with PubNub

FanHub and PubNub Power Leading Interactive Sports Fan Apps

FanHub Media builds interactive fan experiences for the sports industry, offering modules like fantasy sports, predictors, betting, live scoring, voting, and analytics. To deliver fast, reliable second‑screen experiences to a large audience, FanHub needed a commercial realtime data stream network that could stream and sync notifications, score updates, and UI state changes across connected devices with minimal latency and zero downtime.

FanHub implemented PubNub’s Data Stream Network and Pub/Sub messaging to power live messaging, instant score and notification pushes, fantasy draft turn alerts, and synchronized front‑end state changes (e.g., pre‑game to live). Integration was seamless, letting the team focus on product features while cutting development time and infrastructure costs; PubNub now maintains the realtime layer that keeps FanHub’s experiences responsive and reliable.
