PROJECT
Genesis and business expectations
STATSCORE is a provider of a real-time sports data platform designed for clubs, leagues, media outlets and betting companies. From the outset, the system operated within the Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment, ensuring scalability and high service availability. However, with rapid user growth and increasing data volumes, the need arose to improve operational efficiency and optimise cloud infrastructure costs.
A decision was made to conduct a thorough review of the system architecture and AWS service configuration. The goal was to fully leverage the capabilities of the cloud while maintaining high standards of security, availability, and full control over spending.

ACTIONS
Project execution process
Review and analysis of the client’s environment located in the AWS cloud.
Scope and delivery model
We carried out a comprehensive review of the client’s AWS environment, covering areas such as service architecture, configuration and security standards, performance optimisation, infrastructure management automation, and cost control mechanisms.
Based on this, we developed a detailed analysis of AWS cost efficiency along with a set of optimisation recommendations. The results were presented in a structured report and discussed during dedicated workshops with the STATSCORE team.
For each recommendation, we prepared an implementation scenario tailored to the specifics of the environment and the client’s business objectives. We highlighted actions that could be implemented immediately, as well as those requiring greater investment. Several changes were implemented in close collaboration with the client’s team.
