AI Sports Analytics MVP Hits 12K Users in 3 Weeks
SpeedMVPs built a Next.js web platform backed by a FastAPI ingestion service that consumed live SportRadar feeds via WebSocket, normalised raw event streams into a PostgreSQL + TimescaleDB schema, and served sub-200ms queries to the frontend. A fine-tuned GPT-4o layer generated plain-English tactical summaries and halftime predictions, with pgvector enabling semantic search across 3 seasons of historical match data. The entire stack was deployed on Vercel (frontend) and Railway (API + DB) with a configurable white-label embed for broadcast partners.

What We Built
- SpeedMVPs built a Next.js web platform backed by a FastAPI ingestion service that consumed live SportRadar feeds via WebSocket, normalised raw event streams into a PostgreSQL + TimescaleDB schema, and served sub-200ms queries to the frontend. A fine-tuned GPT-4o layer generated plain-English tactical summaries and halftime predictions, with pgvector enabling semantic search across 3 seasons of historical match data. The entire stack was deployed on Vercel (frontend) and Railway (API + DB) with a configurable white-label embed for broadcast partners.

The Challenge
- StatEdge Media had secured broadcast partnerships for the upcoming football season but lacked a working data product to fulfil them. Their internal team had spent four months prototyping a stats dashboard that still couldn't ingest live feeds reliably, and their launch window was six weeks away. They needed real-time player tracking data, AI-generated match insights, and predictive win-probability models, all in a single embeddable platform, without blowing their Series A runway.

Our Solution
- Real-time WebSocket ingestion from SportRadar with auto-reconnect and event deduplication
- AI match-insight engine generating plain-English tactical summaries every 5 minutes of play
- Win-probability model (logistic regression + GPT-4o narrative) updating on every key event
- Semantic historical search across 3 seasons using pgvector embeddings, 'find matches like this one'
- White-label embed SDK allowing broadcast partners to drop the dashboard into their own sites in under 30 minutes
