Showing a little side project of mine that will hopefully appeal to sports and stats fans alike. I am an engineer with a great passion for sports, particularly college basketball. My goal is/was to set up a site to easily discern important data about a given team and players. The site runs on a myriad of technologies including MySQL, Couchbase, Redis, and Rails + Foundation frameworks. Feedback would be appreciated. Good luck in your brackets. |
For Couchbase, all game data is stored in a document, including player stats. I actually use Couchbase as a cache layer as well instead of Redis. Voting and some cache keys are documents and I write couchbase views or use traditional get's to grab that data. Couchbase does the map reduce to give me the numbers I need to come up with all the stats you see on the site. It also comes in handy for things like standard deviation and the tempo-free stats on the matchup pages
Hopefully that helps!
