What is Sprtshub.io.

Sprtshub.io is a decentralized sports sharing platform that is built on the Steem Blockchain like Steemit, Busy, Dmania, Dtube, Steemkr, Dlive, Dsound etc.
The above mentioned platforms are all built on the Steem Blockchain and that makes it possible for all your articles to be visible across board and mostly on Steemit.

The infrastructure behind Sprtshub.

The platform is hosted on an 8GB RAM server with 160GB storage running on a Virtual Programmable Server hosted with DigitalOcean, one of the world's most reliable and scalable servers with over 14 datacenters spread across the world. (Constant upgrade planned)
We implemented load balancers which distributes the load on a single node thus ensuring that we have as many nodes being deployed as at when its needed, this is very important for scalability.

How Sprtshub.io connects to the Steem Blockchain

• SprtsHub.io was built entirely on the Steem Blockchain using the Steem-js library as our interface. The choice of the js library is informed due to its flexibility and unique ability run across platforms since Vanilla js is already widely used on web, desktop and mobile.
• The Steem-js library connects via web sockets to the Steem Blockchain. SprtsHub's frontend is 80% built on Vanilla Javascript, while also implementing important frontend frameworks such as jquery and lazy loaders. All files get loaded asynchronously using only .js which guarantees fast load times of all functions and plugins.
• The Back-End
  Sprtshub uses a backend implemented on laravel framework due to it's massive scalability, speed and security.
• Security.
  For security and caching we used Cloudflare so as to prevent against DDos attacks and malicious entry to the site. Cloudflare is the world's leader in cyber security and encryption.
  Sprtshub.io uses advanced TLS encryption for ensuring that all data sent to and fro from our servers are kept encrypted end-to-end.
