Case Study: BrainCert achieves 40% faster application performance and 90% reduction in engineering workload with Cloudflare

BrainCert offers faster and more secure online training platform by leveraging Cloudflare’s Network

BrainCert is a cloud-based, all‑in‑one educational platform-as-a-service that lets customers create, deliver, and sell courses, tests, and live classes. As it scaled, BrainCert struggled to deliver consistent, low-latency experiences for users far from its origins and to securely support white‑labeled customer domains — managing and renewing SSL certificates for many customer hostnames became tedious, error‑prone, and non‑scalable.

By adopting Cloudflare’s edge network, WAF, and SSL for SaaS, BrainCert moved traffic to the edge, automated certificate provisioning via API, and centralized security and performance management. The result: application load times improved by over 40%, threats to infrastructure dropped dramatically (≈97% blocked by WAF), SSL certificates can be provisioned in under 30 seconds, and related engineering workload was reduced by nearly 90%.
