Project Summary

PureLogics designed and developed a custom educational platform, initially as a Facebook application and later migrated to a website with Facebook Connect and Akamai CDN integration. The vendor wrote the PHP code, built an auto-scaling hosting solution, and supported continuous development; the resulting platform now supports roughly 30,000 daily users. The engagement helped mature the client's development processes and largely delivered on time and on budget.

Key Challenges

Build a custom, scalable educational platform.
Migrate from a Facebook application to a website and integrate Facebook Connect.
Handle large volumes of video uploads and design scalable hosting.

Project Deliverables

Custom web platform
Facebook Connect integration
Akamai CDN integration
Auto-scaling solution

Project Solution

PureLogics executed the design and wrote all application code (PHP) for a custom educational platform. They migrated the product from a Facebook application to a standalone website using Facebook Connect, integrated Akamai as a CDN, and implemented an auto-scaling solution to prevent server overloads. After funding, the client added an onshore team while PureLogics continued to provide offshore night-shift development for continuous delivery.

Project Outcome

Supported about 30,000 daily users.
Enabled large-scale video uploads and dynamic hosting on demand.
Improved development process maturity with Agile practices and organized meetings, delivering most milestones on time and within budget.
