Learnyst is now an AWS Edstart partner. We are officially a member of the AWS EdStart accelerator program. In this blog, we share the details on how AWS helps us meet our business goals.

Learnyst is an LMS software company based out in Bangalore. Our mission is to help educators sell courses online from their own website & mobile apps. 

There are a lot of complexities involved while teaching online. You need server space to upload your contents, software to manage your learners, and a team to handle the tech support. 

Handling these technical issues are complex & a costly affair for most educators.

One of our key business goals is to simplify technology for educators & help them focus on growing their online teaching business.  

Partnering with AWS has allowed us to meet this key business goal and also given us a huge array of ready made tools that we can use to enable the solutions that educators want. 

One of the key benefits of AWS is that it allows us to scale our business despite the complexity of data requests we receive daily. 

How Being An AWS Edstart Partner Helps Learnyst 

Streaming With Amazon CloudFront

• Our customers want to be able to stream their course contents like videos, pdf, PPT & LIVE classes, faster. 

• The CDN cloud architecture streams videos from the servers near students. So, video loads fast & hence, educators are able to deliver uninterrupted learning experiences for their students. 

Simple Storage Service

• Storing the huge volumes of course content requires huge amounts of petabytes. Amazon’s simple storage services help us host our customer course contents like videos & pdf. 

The auto-scaling architecture lets us scale the storage space to meet our demand. 

Relational Database Service 

• Running a competitive mock exam for more than 1 lakh students simultaneously is a resource-intensive process. 

• AWS’s relational database service helps us deal with such complex requests at all times and in turn helps us solve the most challenging business problems for our customers. 

Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) & WAF

• We use the EC2 instance to handle our customer’s LIVE classes, run our web servers, and basically provide a host of security features like course encryption for our customers. 

• By using WAF, we are able to protect the data of our customers & their students from unauthorized access. This helps us build a secure learning platform for our customers. 

Simple Email Service

• One of the key benefits we provide our customers is the simple email service. 
• Using this service, customers can send targeted marketing emails to their students & from their academy. 

Cognito Sync & Cloud Watch

• Other than these core features, we monitor the deployment via cloud and ensure datasync between web & mobile devices of our educators. 

• Cognito Sync & CloudWatch helps us do just that.
