Educational Platform

Introduction

Built and launched the first phase of the platform from scratch, serving thousands of teachers and students globally

Designed and implemented a distributed content delivery system that handles educational resources in multiple languages and formats

Architected a microservices-based backend with intelligent caching, search optimization, and payment processing to support high-traffic loads

Features

Scalable Content Distribution Architecture

  • A distributed content delivery network powered by AWS S3 and Cloudinary CDN optimizes resource loading times across multiple regions
  • Multi-layer caching with Redis and application-level caching reduced server load by 50% and improved response times by double
  • The microservices-based architecture handles concurrent uploads, processing, and distribution of educational resources efficiently

Advanced Search & Discovery System

  • Elasticsearch powers full-text search across thousands of resources with faceted filtering by language, grade level, and subject
  • Intelligent ranking algorithms with relevance to user behavior and preferences
  • Real-time search suggestions and autocomplete with debouncing and caching to maintain optimal performance

Product Management & Workflow System

  • The product upload system supports multiple file formats (PDFs, images, videos) with automatic validation and processing
  • A content moderation workflow manages status transitions from draft to pending review, published, and archived states
  • Role-based access control provides granular permissions for teachers, moderators, and administrators

Payment Integration & Subscription Management

  • Stripe handles secure payment processing with webhooks managing the entire subscription lifecycle
  • The subscription system supports monthly and annual plans with automatic prorated upgrades and downgrades

Performance Optimization & System Architecture

  • Database queries were optimized with connection pooling to handle thousands of concurrent users smoothly
  • Priority Hints API enables intelligent resource loading, significantly improving Core Web Vitals scores
  • The fault-tolerant architecture includes comprehensive error handling, retry mechanisms, and graceful degradation
