SofaScore runs a global live-sports app covering 24 sports with 25 million monthly active users and over 50 million Android downloads; backend is mostly PHP with Go, React, Kotlin and Swift, 70 developers/QA among ~230 staff. Real-time pipeline sends 200 million push notifications per day, triggers self-made DDoS spikes and needs CDN rules, multi‑provider data aggregation (30+ feeds) with quorum/failover, plus manual entry for lower leagues. A year‑plus R&D algorithm converts >200 metrics per player into ratings; the product is profitable, no outside funding.
