What made this hard?
Live scores and standings mean constant external data, where rate limits, stale data, and provider downtime are a daily reality rather than an edge case.
How was the system structured?
External sports data arrives through a scheduled sync layer that stores results locally, so page loads never depend on a third-party API being up. Cache invalidation follows match state: a short interval during a live match, a long one after it finishes.
What does the codebase look like now?
Provider responses pass through a normalization layer, so a schema change upstream does not break the site. On failure the last known good data is shown instead of an empty page.
