Case Study: FOX Sports improves streaming performance and cuts infrastructure costs with X-Team

Fox Sports - Customer Case Study

Fox Sports, a major sports broadcasting division, encountered significant streaming performance issues and high infrastructure costs during peak events like the Super Bowl. They partnered with X-Team to optimize their platform for high traffic volumes and improve cost efficiency.

X-Team's solution involved migrating key services from Node.js to the Go programming language for better efficiency and developing a suite of specialized tools. These included a disaster recovery service, a decisioning service for CDN routing, and a configuration management tool for A/B testing. This work for Fox Sports resulted in a dramatic performance improvement, with CPU usage dropping to 12% under load, a substantial reduction in cloud infrastructure costs, and a seamless viewer experience during high-demand events.
