Project Summary

KnubiSoft partnered with VirtuEd to take over and rebuild their tutoring platform, migrating infrastructure from Azure to AWS, stabilizing the legacy codebase, and delivering front-end components and backend services including notifications, video chat, and payments. They implemented CI/CD tooling and monitoring and established QA and regression-testing frameworks. The engagement improved platform stability, development velocity, and operational visibility.

Key Challenges

Build a responsive web application
Provide guidance on the tech stack and take over a poorly written legacy system
Stabilize the codebase and establish a scalable infrastructure and engineering foundation

End-to-end QA and regression testing framework

Project Solution

KnubiSoft took ownership of a poorly written legacy system, stabilized the codebase, migrated hosting and infrastructure from Microsoft Azure to AWS, built reusable front-end components aligned to the design system, implemented backend services (notifications, video chat, screen sharing, whiteboarding) and RESTful APIs, integrated Stripe for payments, and set up DevOps tools (Docker, Jenkins) with monitoring via Grafana and deployment notifications via Slack webhooks. They also designed and executed a QA and regression-testing plan.

Project Outcome

Reduced downtime and deployment errors by migrating from Azure to AWS and implementing a CI/CD pipeline
Improved monitoring and visibility via Grafana, enabling proactive issue resolution
Cut UI build time by 30–40% through reusable front-end components
Automated regression testing and QA reduced post-release defects and improved release confidence
Delivered video chat, screen sharing, and whiteboard features that enhanced user value
Integrated Stripe payments to enable reliable transaction processing and faster revenue collection
