Betfred Technology
Transformation
Three strategic initiatives that modernise Betfred's sportsbook integration, unlock AI-driven business intelligence, and create a self-managing infrastructure platform — engineered for Grand National-scale peak performance.
From Platform Migration
to Strategic Advantage
Having successfully migrated Betfred's data platform from SQL Server to Amazon Redshift and taken their platform live, we understand the technology landscape, seasonal peak demands, and the competitive pressures of the UK betting market. These three initiatives build on that foundation to deliver measurable business value.
SQL Server → Amazon Redshift Migration
Data platform modernisation with full schema migration, ETL pipeline rebuild, and performance validation.
Platform Go-Live & Stabilisation
Production deployment with peak-load testing, monitoring setup, and operational runbook creation.
Three Strategic Initiatives
API Gateway unification, AI/ML intelligence platform, and automated infrastructure management.
Unified Sportsbook API Gateway
Replace fragmented point-to-point integrations with a centralised API gateway that provides protocol translation, rate limiting, canonical data models, and real-time analytics across all sportsbook data providers.

How the Three Initiatives Connect
Each initiative reinforces the others. The API Gateway feeds clean data to the AI/ML platform, which provides intelligence to the Infrastructure Gateway for predictive scaling and anomaly detection.
