2020 was a milestone year for us at Dream11. We became the world’s largest fantasy sports platform with over 100 million users and were the first-ever sports brand to become the Title Sponsor for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. The increase in the popularity of fantasy sports has led to a huge uplift in user engagement on the Dream11 app. During the IPL, we receive up to 80 million requests per minute on our API Gateway which distributes it to more than 75+ microservices performing their micro-functions. Such a high influx of user requests comes with its own set of challenges.
