Multi-Tenant

EdTech Platform Architectures for Scale Educational technology platforms are more than a website. They reach learners worldwide and must stay fast during peak hours, protect private data, and adapt to new courses. A well designed architecture helps schools, universities, and publishers grow without breaking. The goal is a system that is reliable, secure, and easy to extend. Design with scale in mind. Use multi-tenant by default so one code base serves many schools. Keep services stateless and make heavy lifting asynchronous. Put an API gateway in front and require strong identity and access control. Separate concerns: a frontend, business logic, and data layers should evolve independently. ...

Virtualization and containers in real world workloads Virtualization and containers are common ways to run software in today’s IT environments. They solve similar goals—isolation, portability, and predictable deployment—but they do so in different ways. Understanding when to use each helps teams match the right tool to the workload. Virtual machines provide strong isolation and broad compatibility. They run a full operating system, so a legacy app can move between hosts with little change. Containers, by contrast, share the host OS and run lightweight images. They start quickly and use fewer resources, making them ideal for modern microservices. ...
