Business Challenge
Byju’s classes train thousands of students at a time, making it the largest in the country. It offers eLearning and tablet learning for students preparing for competitive examinations as well as conducts online math and english trainings for students in secondary school. Byju’s initially had a website built on WordPress and were struggling to scale up. They needed a robust, online platform that can support massive traffic and training consumption on a daily basis.
Codewave was approached to re-architect and rebuild the entire web platform, so the portal is faster, stabler, more secure and more accessible by fast growing traffic.
Solution
Codewave was assigned the responsibility of rebuilding Byju’s web platform for scalability. Keeping speed, stability and security in mind, the choice of CMS platform was clearly Drupal. We’ve always recommended Drupal for enterprise level websites and web applications as it is flexible when it comes to API development and offers robust caching features. Here, our goal was to ensure that the portal (of about 150 pages) was architected and built in such a way to serve thousands of students accessing online resources on a daily basis. While architecting the system, we factored in “personalization” with location-aware, context-aware features serving pages relevant for the end user, dynamic news feed, eCommerce, rendering of online courses and enabling tablet learning.
