System Performance
Development Pipeline
Six key phases from data collection to deployment
Python Script Development & Version Control
Developed Python scripts leveraging the-odds-api.com to collect real-time soccer betting odds. The API provides comprehensive coverage of global competitions with generous free-tier access limits. All code is maintained in a GitHub repository for version control and collaborative development.
Cloud Storage Implementation
Processed data is formatted as CSV files and automatically uploaded to AWS S3 buckets. S3 provides reliable, scalable storage with excellent integration capabilities through the boto3 Python library, all within the AWS free tier limits.
Data Pipeline Integration
Since many visualization platforms lack native S3 connectivity, Google Sheets serves as an intelligent data bridge. The Google Sheets API facilitates seamless data transfer, with each tournament assigned to dedicated worksheet tabs for organized data management.
Web Infrastructure Deployment
Deployed a lightweight t2.micro EC2 instance leveraging AWS free tier resources. The instance hosts the responsive HTML/CSS/JavaScript frontend with optimized security group configurations for HTTP/HTTPS traffic management.
Process Automation & Scheduling
Implemented comprehensive automation using Linux cron jobs for daily data refresh cycles. This eliminates manual intervention while ensuring data freshness and system reliability through automated error handling and logging.
Data Visualization & User Interface
Created interactive dashboards using modern charting libraries with seamless Google Sheets integration. Advanced JavaScript embedding provides responsive, mobile-optimized visualizations that automatically sync with live data sources.
