Pragmatic Resiliency: Super 6 & Sky Bet Evolution
Sky Sports Super 6 is a free football results prediction game, launched in 2008. It’s extremely popular with over a million entries per week and drives a substantial proportion of our traffic at peak time, putting heavy load on our login/single sign on systems. This talk will focus on the reality of adapting a complex set of interacting, highly coupled applications to make them more resilient and better able to cope with failure. I’ll also discuss how to manage the trade-offs of improving a technology platform while delivering to a business in a hugely competitive environment with ever growing customer demand.
