Sports Betting
Enable instant odds calculations, live in-play betting, and rapid risk management. Offer more dynamic and engaging betting options while maintaining financial stability.
Business requirements
The sports betting industry requires stream processing capabilities that can handle massive volumes of real-time data from multiple sports events simultaneously.

Implementing real-time data processing in sports betting presents several technical challenges. These include processing high-velocity data streams from multiple live events, ensuring ultra-low latency for time-sensitive operations like in-play betting, maintaining data consistency across distributed systems, and scaling to handle peak loads during major sporting events.
