Why EdTech is different

Spiky, seasonal, and high-stakes

EdTech traffic isn't steady — it's quiet over breaks, then an exam window or enrolment day brings a 50× surge where every minute of downtime means a student locked out of a test they can't retake.

SquareOps builds platforms that scale instantly for the peak and shrink back after, deliver course video smoothly worldwide, isolate each institution's data, and protect student records to FERPA and DPDP — so you're ready for exam day and lean the rest of the year.

What we deliver

EdTech infrastructure services

Everything a learning platform needs to survive exam day, deliver content, and protect students — affordably.

SERVICE 01

Exam & peak-load autoscaling

Capacity that scales ahead of scheduled exams and enrolment surges, with submission buffering and load testing against real concurrency.

  • Scheduled & predictive scaling
  • Submission queue buffering
  • Exam-concurrency load tests
SERVICE 02

Video & content delivery

CloudFront CDN, adaptive bitrate streaming, and S3-backed storage so lessons play smoothly worldwide at controlled bandwidth cost.

  • CloudFront / CDN
  • Adaptive bitrate streaming

SERVICE 03

Multi-tenant for institutions

Tenant-isolated architecture that serves districts, universities, and enterprises efficiently — separate data, scoped access, per-tenant scale.

  • Per-tenant data isolation
  • Scoped access & config
  • Efficient shared infra
SERVICE 04

Seasonal cost control

Scale to actual demand — down between peaks, Spot/Graviton for non-critical work, off-hours scheduling, and cost monitoring.

  • Scale-to-demand
  • Spot & Graviton
  • Off-hours scheduling
SERVICE 05

Student-data privacy

Encryption, least-privilege access, audit logging, and data residency aligned to FERPA and India's DPDP Act for student records.

  • FERPA & DPDP alignment
  • Record isolation & logging
  • Consent & retention controls
SERVICE 06

24×7 SRE

Round-the-clock monitoring and on-call response under a 99.95% SLA, with extra coverage during exam and live-class windows.

  • 24×7 monitoring & on-call
  • Exam-window standby
  • 99.95% SLA
Exam-day playbook

How we get you through the term peak

A repeatable runbook for exam windows, enrolment days, and live classes — so peak day is uneventful.

STEP 01

Load test

Model exam concurrency and load-test the full path — login, content, and submission — before the date.

STEP 02

Pre-scale

Schedule capacity and pre-warm caches and balancers ahead of the exam or enrolment window.

STEP 03

Watch live

24×7 SRE on a dashboard through the window — concurrency, latency, and submission success in real time.

STEP 04

Scale down

After the peak, capacity shrinks back automatically and we report on cost and performance.

FAQs

EdTech cloud — common questions

Exam peaks, video delivery, multi-tenancy, cost, and student-data privacy.

How do you handle exam-day and enrolment traffic spikes?

EdTech load is seasonal and bursty — an exam window or enrolment day can be 50× a normal afternoon. We design autoscaling that adds capacity ahead of scheduled peaks, pre-warm load balancers and caches, buffer submissions through queues, and load-test against your projected exam concurrency before the date. 24×7 SRE stands by during high-stakes windows so nothing fails mid-exam.

How do you deliver course video reliably and affordably?

We put video and content behind a CDN (CloudFront), use adaptive bitrate streaming, and offload origin storage to S3 — so lessons play smoothly worldwide while bandwidth cost stays controlled. Caching and tiered storage keep delivery fast without paying premium egress for every view.

Can you support multi-tenant SaaS for institutions?

Yes. We design multi-tenant architectures that isolate each institution's data and configuration while sharing infrastructure efficiently — per-tenant data separation, scoped access, and the ability to scale or customise per district, university, or enterprise customer.

How do you control cost during quiet seasons?

EdTech is busy in term and quiet in breaks, so we scale capacity to actual demand — autoscaling down between peaks, using Spot and Graviton for non-critical workloads, scheduling environments off out of hours, and adding cost monitoring so you pay for the exam window, not the summer holiday.

How do you protect student data and meet FERPA/DPDP?

We implement encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege access, audit logging, and data residency aligned to FERPA (US student records) and India's DPDP Act. Personal and educational records are isolated, access is logged, and retention and consent controls match the regulations your learners fall under.

Do you offer 24×7 support for learning platforms?

Yes. Learning platforms can't go down during an exam or a live class, so we provide 24×7 SRE coverage under a 99.95% SLA with monitoring, alerting, and on-call response tuned to catch issues before students and teachers do.
