QUEST runs a digital learning platform – The Quest App, available on web and mobile. QUEST was planning to onboard 250K users and wanted to ensure that the platform could withstand the expected load. The existing application was not designed to handle such high loads and could only handle 200 concurrent users. The system needed to be scaled to handle a load of at least 10K concurrent users.
We initially did a technical analysis of the existing system to identify the bottlenecks and other issues that were causing the application to break at higher loads. Then based on our findings we recommended a set of changes which would help the application handle the expected load. The set of changes included:
We implemented Blue Green deployment using Automatic Load Balancing (ALB) to reduce downtime and improve availability.
