INDUSTRY: INTERNET COMMERCE
NEED
Our client is an online marketplace specializing in ticket sales for sports
and entertainment. They have several partnerships with major sporting
leagues including MLB, NHL, NBA, and the NFL. They also are a
marketplace for concert, live event, and theatre tickets. All event
information and associated ticket data needed to be available to
consumers around the clock through a more stable infrastructure than
was currently in place.
SOLUTION
Akraya’s team was part of the group that maintained and optimized the
delivery of information for the company in various databases within the
organization. This team covered all environments including development,
testing, staging and production. The team had extensive expertise in
managing large databases in cloud environments.
RESULT
StubHub has been able to ensure the availability of its data to consumers for buying and selling tickets to concerts, sporting events, and theatre events.
Due to the increased stability of the server infrastructure and reduced
outages, the company was able to increase the market share of tickets sales to about half of the overall sales for such events in the US alone. The
technology used was Oracle, MongoDB, SQL Server, and MySQL.
