MLB's Baseball Data Platform team migrated from self-managed Memcached to Google Cloud's Memorystore for Valkey to handle billions of daily requests and deliver real-time baseball data to fans and broadcasters. The solution provides high availability, cross-region replication, and zero-downtime scaling while processing complex telemetry data including player movement tracking at 30 frames per second. Their caching strategy includes three main use cases: ballpark buffering for edge-layer caching, live GUMBO for game state management, and general stats caching for semi-live datasets.
