Case Study: Ballr achieves real-time, accurate fantasy scoring at global scale with VoltDB

Ballr Powers Real-Time Fantasy Gaming with VoltDB

Ballr, a mobile fan-engagement and real-time fantasy gaming platform, faced the challenge of capturing and processing thousands of micro-moments per soccer match (83 event types) and scaling to millions of concurrent users worldwide while maintaining accurate, real-time scoring and leaderboards. To meet this need and reduce its IT footprint, Ballr selected VoltDB and its VoltDB Fast Data Platform, an in-memory translytical database built for high-volume, low-latency workloads.

VoltDB ingests and analyzes hundreds of thousands of concurrent events in milliseconds, enabling Ballr to convert every pass, shot or foul into immediate point updates and reconcile interactive leaderboards across more than 200 countries. By deploying VoltDB, Ballr delivers accurate real-time scoring to millions of users, improving engagement, retention and monetization while reliably scaling to the game’s intense data volumes.
