The platform is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide range of users. It includes a backoffice for bet management, user profile management, and real-time updates.

How I built it

As a key member of the LegitXBet development team, I took charge of the backend bookmaking modules, a critical component of the platform. My first step was to architect the codebase to align with a Nest.js microservice architecture, ensuring scalability and modularity. I adopted RabbitMQ as the messaging protocol to enable seamless communication between the various microservices.

The development process involved several key challenges, which I addressed as follows:

  1. Integrating Sports Data Feeds: I researched and implemented a reliable solution for ingesting sports data feeds, ensuring real-time accuracy and consistency. This involved selecting the right data providers and designing the system to handle large volumes of data.
  2. Efficient Data Storage and Retrieval:: I structured the database schema to efficiently store and manage sports data in PostgreSQL. This design allowed for quick access to relevant information, which was crucial for real-time betting scenarios.
  3. Optimizing Data Delivery to Clients: To enhance the user experience, I implemented caching mechanisms using Redis, ensuring that client applications received sports data promptly without overloading the database. This approach significantly improved the platform’s responsiveness. 4 Managing Data Updates and Reactivity: I developed a robust system for handling real-time data updates, ensuring that client applications reflected the latest sports data instantaneously. This required careful synchronization between the microservices and client interfaces.
  4. Streamlining the Betting Process: I mapped out and implemented the end-to-end betting workflow, from placing a bet to settlement and cashout. This involved designing secure and efficient transaction handling processes that could scale with user demand.
