The CTO of Sofascore explains the company's mission to deliver real-time sports data to 25 million monthly active users.
Tech hype is the pressure to adopt new, unproven technologies without considering if they solve a real business problem.
Tech hype is often driven by social media, conferences, and a developer's desire to improve their resume rather than business needs.
Before adopting a new technology, clearly define the problem you are solving and evaluate the technology's maturity, documentation, and community support.
A technology choice must align with the existing skills of your team, as hiring or training for niche technologies can be costly and slow.
Mitigate risk by testing new technologies on non-critical internal projects or through a proof of concept before a full-scale rollout.
A look at Sofascore's tech stack, including .NET and SignalR, which is optimized for delivering low-latency updates to millions of users.
Building a custom solution is justified when you need full control and have unique requirements, otherwise buying an off-the-shelf product is often better.
Lasting career success comes from mastering core engineering principles and problem-solving skills, not from chasing the latest technology fads.
