Programming with heart and mind

Client case: Pyeongchang, South Korea – 2018. The world is watching the Winter Olympics. Skiing, ice skating and bobsleighing: everything is being streamed online. It’s also being broadcast by a major American TV network. Gracenote and Codestar engineers are building a new platform to enrich these live streams with real-time information of interim times, provisional standings, video logs and athletes’ biographies. And we are doing using real-time stream processing technologies, such as Kafka en Akka. For a gold medal in viewing experience.
