Industries · Education & EdTech
Scale the platform without scaling the ops burden.
Cost-efficient, compliant, and resilient cloud infrastructure for EdTech companies serving learners, institutions, and enterprise training programmes — where reliability matters and margins are tight.
Pain points we hear most often
Semester spikes and idle summers
EdTech traffic is predictably seasonal — enrolment periods, exam seasons, and course launches create sharp demand spikes followed by months of low utilisation. We build elastic infrastructure that follows the curve, not the peak.
Student data compliance across jurisdictions
FERPA, COPPA, GDPR, and regional equivalents apply simultaneously for many platforms. We design data handling, retention, and access controls that satisfy the strictest applicable regime without becoming the whole engineering roadmap.
Video and content delivery at scale
Video streaming for thousands of concurrent learners is infrastructure-intensive and expensive when done naively. We optimise CDN configuration, adaptive bitrate delivery, and storage tiering to keep quality high and cost predictable.
Who we work with in Education & EdTech
LMS or course platform scaling to enterprise
Consumer or SMB product landing its first large institutional customers — who expect SSO, data isolation, SLAs, and audit reports the startup was never built to provide.
Online university or bootcamp
Serving thousands of concurrent learners with video, assessments, and collaboration tools that need to be available during every scheduled session.
Corporate learning and enablement platform
Enterprise clients with strict security reviews, data residency requirements, and procurement processes that require SOC 2 documentation.
EdTech AI company
AI tutoring, assessment, or content generation products with LLM inference costs that need to be managed alongside a consumer-pricing model.
Frequently asked questions
How do you handle enrolment-period traffic spikes? +
Predictive scaling from historical enrolment data, pre-warmed autoscaling groups, and CDN pre-caching for popular content. We test the spike before the season, not during it.
What does FERPA-compliant infrastructure look like? +
Encryption at rest and in transit, strict access controls on education records, audit logs for all data access, and documented data-sharing agreements with every third-party service in the stack.
How do you keep video delivery costs under control? +
Adaptive bitrate transcoding once at upload, multi-tier CDN with long cache TTLs for static content, and storage tiering (hot/warm/cold) for the video archive. Typical cost reduction vs naive storage-plus-egress: 40–60%.
Can you help with SOC 2 for enterprise EdTech? +
Yes — we focus on the infrastructure controls (CC6, CC7, CC8) and build evidence collection that's continuous rather than a pre-audit scramble. Typical readiness window is 4–6 months.
How do you handle data residency for EU students? +
Region selection in the landing zone, data classification for student records, and routing rules that keep EU data within EU boundaries. Documented for your DPA review.
What about SSO and LTI integrations for institutions? +
SAML and OIDC SSO are standard in our enterprise onboarding patterns. LTI 1.3 integration is an application concern, but we handle the network and identity infrastructure that surrounds it.
How do you manage infrastructure costs when usage dips in summer? +
Scheduled scale-down for non-prod environments, spot instances for batch analytics and content processing jobs, and reserved capacity only for the steady production baseline.
Can you help with AI tutoring or assessment infrastructure? +
Yes — LLM inference at cost-controlled scale, latency optimisation for real-time tutoring sessions, and prompt-response logging with the data governance controls EdTech requires.
