Abstract
ESPN.com and its related digital properties serve tens of thousands of requests per second from sports fans around the world. Learn how they use a combination of page- and application-level caching to do so with extremely low latency and a slim hardware footprint. Find out about the technology stack that allows stats and scores to get from the field to the web -- usually before they even show up on your TV. Deep dive on various critical pieces of the ESPN technology stack including: live scoring "push" updates; dynamic content management; and personalized preferences that follow you on the site, your phone, or your TV. Finally, learn how ESPN is advancing the fan experience with cache push and XMPP.
