Deep Dive — Platform Architecture

Real-Time Platform Architecture

Core Engine

Live Odds & Score Engine

The core of any live sports platform is sub-100ms data propagation. SOPHIA builds dedicated event-driven odds engines using Redis Pub/Sub and WebSocket clusters that push market changes to connected clients the moment they occur at the data provider.

Odds Engine Features

WebSocket server cluster (Node.js / Go) with horizontal scaling
Redis Pub/Sub for cross-node odds broadcast
Odds feed ingestion from Sportradar / BetRadar / Betradar Live
Market suspension logic on game-state events (goal, timeout)
Margin calculation engine with configurable overround
Auto-settlement trigger on event result webhook
In-play bet acceptance window (configurable delay gate)
Odds cache invalidation <50ms end-to-end

Data Integration

Sports Data API Integration

SOPHIA integrates the world's leading sports data providers — normalising their feeds into a unified internal schema so that the frontend and betting engine consume consistent, provider-agnostic data regardless of upstream source.
