A cloud-native EdTech platform built for 10,000+ concurrent users, and the live video to match.

The Client

STEMbotix is an advanced learning management system (LMS) focused on democratizing access to emerging technologies such as, AI, Robotics, IoT, Drones, AR/VR, and 3D Printing, for students globally.

Their vision: a scalable, real-time, interactive online learning ecosystem capable of supporting live classes, recorded content, and high concurrent user traffic without compromising performance or user experience.

The challenge

Building an LMS is one problem. Building a cloud-native LMS with live video at global scale is a different engineering problem entirely:

• The platform needed to support 10,000+ concurrent users without performance degradation.
• Live video classes required low-latency, real-time infrastructure across geographies.
• AI and emerging tech curriculum required a content system flexible enough for varied media.
• Platform stability under peak load, during live session windows was mission-critical.
• Seamless delivery across different regions and devices was non-negotiable..

Netizens was selected through a strategic referral within the EdTech ecosystem; chosen specifically for its DevOps expertise, scalable system design capabilities, and experience with real-time platforms.

What Netizens built

Netizens approached this with a cloud-first, scalability-driven engineering strategy — ensuring the platform could handle both current and future growth from day one.

Learning platform

Full LMS development with structured content delivery, course management, progress tracking, and a user experience designed for students engaging with hands-on technical curriculum.

Live video and real-time interaction system

Architected and integrated to support high-concurrency sessions without degradation — the technical centrepiece of the platform, enabling live classes across geographies simultaneously.

Cloud-native infrastructure

AWS with auto-scaling and load balancing for horizontal scaling under peak load. Docker containerization for consistent deployment environments. S3 for scalable content delivery.

DevOps and CI/CD

Docker-based containerization, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation — enabling fast, reliable releases without manual intervention and minimizing human ops overhead.

Performance engineering

Load testing and monitoring systems built to identify bottlenecks before they reach production — critical for a platform where a live session failure affects thousands of students simultaneously.
