An interesting insight into working with one of our customers:
The customer is a provider of e-learning services and uses the open-source software Jitsi for its video conferencing solutions. Previously, the infrastructure for this was operated on-premise.
The following challenges had to be overcome:
- Heavy utilization at peak times led to performance losses
- Insufficient elasticity of the infrastructure to react dynamically to load fluctuations
What did we do?
🔹 Exchange and consulting: Together with the customer, we analyzed the existing bottlenecks and defined the new requirements.
🔹 Strategy and architecture: We developed a strategy and architecture that enables a flexible and scalable cloud solution.
🔹 Elastic cloud architecture: Building an elastic cloud architecture at AWS that scales dynamically and on a scheduled basis to meet requirements during peak times. Kubernetes was also used for this.
🔹 Monitoring and maintenance: We take over the continuous monitoring and maintenance of the system to ensure smooth operation.
Today, the customer's e-learning system runs smoothly and scales flexibly with usage requirements. We remain ready to adapt the system if necessary.
