Who we work with

We build platforms with founders at three inflection points.

Building the first real platform

Who
Early-stage founders moving past MVP, no-code tools, or a fragile v1.
Problem
Platform needs to be rebuilt for production load and real users.
What we do
Architecture design, MVP rebuild, scalable foundation.
Most common

Breaking past the first scaling wall

Who
Founders with 5,000 to 100,000 daily users hitting first real performance limits.
Problem
Login flows collapse at peak, databases slow, current team patches what needs rebuilding.
What we do
Scaling audit, dedicated engineering pod, architecture overhaul.

Enterprise-grade scale

Who
Platforms past 100,000 daily users preparing for district, university, or enterprise deployments.
Problem
Multi-tenancy, compliance, cross-region deployment, white-label.
What we do
Enterprise architecture, white-label platform development, long-term partnership.
What we fix

Where EdTech platforms break. And how we rebuild them.

01

Login storms at class start

The pain: Thousands of students try to log in at 8:00 AM sharp. Your authentication layer was not designed for a flash crowd. The primary database locks. Logins fail or stall for 90 seconds.

Our approach: Token-based federated authentication. Dedicated auth service decoupled from the primary API. Read replicas for session validation. Load-balanced auth cluster.

02

Assignment submission floods

The pain: Forty thousand students submit assignments in the 10 minutes before a deadline. The primary database cannot keep up. Submissions get delayed or lost.

Our approach: Queue-based ingestion with guaranteed delivery. Write-through caching. Async processing with dead-letter queues for retry.

03

Live class delivery at scale

The pain: Five thousand students try to watch a live session. Video buffers. Bitrate drops. Students disconnect. Teachers lose engagement.

Our approach: CDN-aware video architecture. Adaptive bitrate streaming. Edge caching strategy. Pre-warmed caches before scheduled sessions.

04

Multi-tenant and white-label complexity

The pain: You are white-labeling to schools but tenant data is bleeding between environments. Custom branding requires code deploys. Onboarding a new school takes six weeks.

Our approach: Tenant-isolated architecture with row-level security. Configuration-driven branding. Self-service tenant provisioning. Independent data paths per tenant.

05

Reporting and analytics performance

The pain: Teachers load their dashboard and it takes 14 seconds. Admin reports time out. Large analytics queries slow down the entire platform for everyone.

Our approach: Separate analytics database with materialized views. CQRS pattern for read-heavy workloads. Dedicated read replicas for reporting. Pre-computed aggregates for common queries.

06

Growth that outruns architecture

The pain: Every 'temporary' fix shipped at 50,000 users becomes a six-month rebuild at 200,000. Technical debt compounds faster than features can be shipped.

Our approach: Architecture audits that identify debt before it compounds. Staged refactors alongside feature work. Scaling roadmap tied to user growth milestones.

How we engage

Three ways to work with us on EdTech platforms.

Scaling audit

2 weeks

A deep technical review of your current architecture, code, database, infrastructure, and deployment. A written report identifying walls you will hit in the next 6-12 months and specifically what would need to change. A prioritized roadmap of scaling work.

Best for: Founders who want external engineering perspective before committing to a larger engagement.

Book an audit
Most common

Dedicated scaling pod

3-6 months, extendable

A dedicated senior engineering team that owns a scope of work end-to-end. Joins your standups, ships against your roadmap, reports to your CTO or founder. Architecture, backend, and frontend coverage.

Best for: Founders who need execution capacity AND senior engineering judgment.

Explore pod engagements

Technical partnership

12+ months, ongoing

The deepest engagement. We become part of your engineering leadership. Architecture decisions, hiring input, technology strategy. Multi-year relationships where we own outcomes alongside you.

Best for: Founders looking for a long-term technical partner, not a vendor relationship.

The platform we operate

One platform. 25x user growth. Zero downtime.

Our multi-tenant EdTech platform grew from 20,000 to 250,000 daily active users over three years of evolution. It handles more than 10 million requests per minute at peak and has sustained zero downtime through three major scaling migrations.

The same platform powers white-label brands like Your CA Buddy and Youth Pathshala, each with their own branding, tenant data isolation, and configuration, all on shared infrastructure.

Everything we learned building that platform, login storm mitigation, queue-based submission handling, CDN-aware video delivery, tenant isolation, CQRS for reporting, shows up in every new engagement we take.

FAQ

Questions EdTech founders ask.

How much does it cost to develop an EdTech platform?+

EdTech platform development cost depends on scope, complexity, and where you are in your scaling journey. Scaling audits are a fixed-price two-week engagement. Dedicated engineering pods run on monthly retainers that scale with scope and seniority. Pricing scales with project scope and complexity, book a scoping call for a transparent estimate tailored to your specific platform.

How long does it take to build an EdTech platform?+

A production-grade EdTech MVP typically takes 3-6 months. A platform rebuild or major migration takes 6-12 months depending on scope. Scaling work like audits, architecture changes, and specific bottleneck fixes often ships in 2-8 week cycles inside a larger engagement.

What makes EdTech development different from regular SaaS?+

Concurrency patterns. Regular SaaS traffic is a steady wave. EdTech traffic is a tsunami, thousands of students log in at the same minute, submit assignments at the same minute, watch live classes at the same minute. Your architecture needs to handle flash crowds, not just steady load. Most platforms built with standard SaaS assumptions break when applied to EdTech usage patterns.

Can you scale our existing EdTech platform instead of rebuilding it?+

Usually yes. Most platforms do not need full rebuilds, they need targeted rewrites of specific bottleneck systems: authentication, submission, video, and reporting. A scaling audit identifies exactly what needs rebuilding and what can scale with targeted changes, so you do not spend a year on a rewrite when you could spend eight weeks on a focused fix.

Do you have experience with specific EdTech categories?+

Our platform experience spans live tutoring, K-12 learning platforms, higher-education LMS, corporate training, assessment and proctoring, white-label institutional platforms, and multi-tenant educational SaaS. Brands running on our platform include Your CA Buddy and Youth Pathshala. If your category is not listed, share details on a scoping call.

How do you handle video delivery at scale?+

For live video: WebRTC or SFU architecture depending on participant counts. For recorded content: CDN-backed adaptive bitrate streaming with edge caching. We architect video pipelines that serve hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers with pre-warmed caches before scheduled live sessions.

What about FERPA, COPPA, and data-protection compliance?+

We build with compliance in mind from day one, encryption at rest and in transit, access control, audit logs, data retention policies, and region-specific deployment. Final compliance certification is determined by your organization's policies and often third-party audits; we make certification straightforward by building to the standard from the start.

Can you work with our existing team or do you want to take over?+

Almost all our engagements integrate with existing engineering teams. We join as senior engineering extensions, adopt your tools and processes, and focus on the scope you need help with. Your team keeps ownership of product surface while we own the scaling and architecture layer.

What technology stacks do you work with for EdTech?+

Backend: Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Ruby. Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue, Angular. Mobile: Flutter, React Native, Swift, Kotlin. Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse. Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure. Video: AWS IVS, Agora, Mux, custom WebRTC. We evaluate your existing stack first and tell you honestly whether we are a fit.

How do I know if I am ready to bring in an external engineering partner?+

If any of these are true: your current team is firefighting instead of building, you have hit or are approaching a scaling wall, you do not have senior engineering leadership in place, or you are about to commit to a large rebuild. An external partner can save you six to twelve months of pain. Start with a scaling audit if you are unsure.
