Application development use case for Primus Learning

Primus learning Overview

Primus Learning is a global platform that offers IT training with an emphasis on technical and hands-on experience for both IT and non-IT-savvy individuals.

Problem statement Primus learning

With the rapid growth rate, the platform was struggling with

- managing student registration

- managing the recorded lessons

- managing students’ tuition

- consolidating all data in a single platform

improving the learning experience

In collaboration with Primus Cloud Solutions, we then proposed and implemented the following solution for Primus Learning to help manage their system.

Cloud Infrastructure

Security

To ensure the environment is secure we

deployed the backend on private subnets and exposed them using an Application load balancer
Deployed the front on an s3 bucket and exposed through Cloudfront for content delivery and integrated WAF for security

Cost

The front was deployed on s3 static web hosting to reduce the cost of running a server

High Availability

The backend was deployed in an auto scaling group to ensure high availability

Disaster Recovery

The whole infrastructure was configured using terraform to ensure we can redeploy in case of disaster
Consistent backup of the mongodb atlas cluster
Replication of s3 data to another region to ensure DR

Monitoring

The NodeJs backend was started using PM2 for monitoring and also cloudwatch for internal monitoring on AWS

Conclusion

Primus Cloud Solutions was able to design, develop, monitor, and deliver a learning management platform to help Primus Learning manage all its data and students in a single platform while ensuring high availability and security.
