The Bundesliga has introduced a new metric called Shot Speed to provide insights into the velocity behind soccer shots. Shot speed is calculated using event data and optical tracking data to determine the maximum speed the ball reaches during its flight. This metric not only enhances our understanding of the game but also highlights memorable moments and allows fans to relive the magic of lightning-fast strikes. The implementation of Shot Speed involves advanced technologies such as Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka to ensure accurate and real-time measurements.
Introducing Bundesliga Match Facts: Shot Speed
Experience the thrill of lightning-fast shots in the Bundesliga like never before! With our new metric, Bundesliga Match Facts: Shot Speed, we bring you valuable insights into the power and speed behind every shot on goal.
Why Shot Speed Matters
Shot speed is more than just a number – it’s a window into the athleticism and skill of Bundesliga players. It ignites debates among fans, allowing you to compare and appreciate the most potent shots in the league.
High-velocity goals leave a lasting memory. Shot speed helps immortalize these moments, giving fans a chance to relive the magic of those lightning-fast strikes.
How Shot Speed is Calculated
The calculation of shot speed relies on a precise and organized data collection process. Event data and optical tracking data are combined to measure the velocity of the ball accurately.
Our cutting-edge technology captures the trajectory of the shot and smoothes out any minor variations in the data. From there, we calculate the maximum speed the ball reaches during its flight, giving us the key number that represents the shot’s speed and power.
Real-time Updates and Visualizations
Thanks to our partnership with AWS, we can offer real-time shot speed updates during live matches. Shot speed metrics are displayed on the live ticker, the official Bundesliga app, and the website, allowing you to stay up-to-date with the fastest shots of the game.
We also provide interactive, near real-time visualizations using Amazon QuickSight, bringing the excitement of shot speed to life.
How It Works Behind the Scenes
We implemented a cutting-edge solution using Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK) to accurately determine shot speed during live matches. This robust platform enables seamless streaming of positional data at a rapid rate, ensuring real-time shot speed updates.
The data journey involves various components, including data collection, synchronization, calculation, distribution, and visualization. Our dedicated Fargate container, BMF ShotSpeed, continuously pulls in the necessary data and instantly calculates shot speed. Shot speed metrics are then distributed to various consumers and stored in an Amazon Aurora Serverless database for analysis.
