Online literacy project to foster global literacy

A US-based educational software provider focused on building free of charge solutions to foster global literacy. Together with the client’s team, Symfa has been in charge of the frontend development of the new functionality and existing functionality performance optimization. The client also opted for our DevOps services to support the system throughout the system growth and well after the main development scope was finished.

Solution overview and functionality description

Designed for targeted instruction and audiovisual support automation within the ELA classroom, the solution is a progressive web app providing a multitude of in-built educational challenges throughout the daily lexile reading practice. The solution helps develop mental and verbal skills while aiding teachers and parents in assessing each child’s potential and progress.

Key values we helped create

All the texts are adapted to naturally cultivate the agility of mind while continuously challenging student’s attention and measuring skills level. 

Student performance dashboards give educators real-time access to the stats on individual students and overall class comprehension, reading behavior, and knowledge growth over time.

DevOps support to ensure sleek system operation and growth

Initially using Bamboo for CI/CD in their on-prem data center and running the application on VMs, the client decided to move it to Docker and later on – to Kubernetes. Our DevOps lead helped the client with fitting the mature application into Kubernetes for greater performance and scalability. After this together we migrated the project to Azure DevOps as a more flexible and user-friendly alternative to Bamboo. 

More DevOps value for the client:

Strong partnership extending well into post-production timelines

Implemented in the US, African, Chinese and Mexican schools, the solution promotes literacy, garnering positive feedback, and building a tight-knit education contributors community worldwide. After positive experience with the main scope of work, the client stays with us to extend the functionality and appreciates our strong DevOps involvement.
