Scaling a SAAS educational platform to support 2M users

The challenge

LinkIt! engaged Devblock to help K-12 teachers track and improve student performance at scale — a mission that demanded a platform capable of handling real-time data and analytics for a rapidly growing user base. Their existing technology platform lacked support for large-scale growth. It couldn't handle the growing number of users or the diverse data needs of its schools — struggling with large datasets, varied data scenarios, and an ever-expanding set of use cases. Without a scalable infrastructure, each new cohort of schools added pressure to a system that was already nearing its limits. Devblock needed to fix this by improving data processing, fine-tuning calculations, adjusting data population methods, and scaling up the underlying infrastructure. These changes were crucial to helping the platform support future growth and continue serving educators reliably.

The solve

Devblock rewrote, re-built, and seamlessly integrated the platform to support large-scale usage across thousands of schools. The solution was built around three pillars: Robust student assessment authoring and delivery. A resilient assessment platform with online and offline capabilities and item-banking tools, so educators can author, deliver, and score assessments without interruption. Improved performance tracking framework. A fully-instrumented performance analysis and error-reporting framework that gives the team visibility into health and usage in real time. Improved dashboard. A new dashboard reporting platform that supports multiple reporting engines, so schools can slice the data they care about without waiting on engineering.

The impact

Today, LinkIt! serves thousands of schools worldwide with nearly two million active students. Devblock continues to develop the LinkIt! platform and has a dedicated team working alongside the client to drive its ongoing success. More importantly, the new infrastructure gave LinkIt! room to grow without replatforming again. Every new school, every new dataset, and every new reporting need now plugs into a foundation that was designed to scale — and that continues to compound as more districts come online.
