DFL cuts storage costs by 35% and delivers real-time match data with AWS

Industry: Media & Entertainment

About

DFL (Deutsche Fußball Liga) manages and markets Germany’s professional football leagues, delivering match broadcasts and related services worldwide.

Challenge

DFL needed a faster, more reliable system to process and analyse large volumes of live match data for fan-facing applications. Their legacy setup lacked scalability and real-time visualisation capabilities.

Solution

Firemind implemented a fully managed AWS data streaming solution. Amazon Kinesis collected and processed match data in real time, Firehose loaded it into analytics tools, and S3 provided scalable storage. AWS Lambda automated event-driven tasks, delivering processed data to DFL’s apps for instant display.

Services used

  1. Amazon S3
  2. AWS Lambda
  3. Amazon Kinesis Firehose
  4. Amazon Kinesis Data Streams

Results

  • 35% monthly storage cost savings
  • Real-time data visualisation
  • Faster data-to-screen delivery
  • Fully automated data pipelines
  • Scalable infrastructure for peak match times
