Case Study: Quest Alliance scales Quest App 50x with Focaloid Technologies

Quest Alliance scales Quest App 50x to 10,000+ concurrent users with Focaloid Technologies

Quest Alliance, a not-for-profit focused on edtech innovation, needed to scale their learning platform ahead of a major onboarding of 250,000 users. Their existing system could only handle about 200 concurrent users but required capacity for at least 10,000—a 50x increase. They engaged Focaloid Technologies to diagnose the bottlenecks and ensure the platform could withstand the load.

Focaloid Technologies performed a technical analysis and implemented a targeted cloud engineering solution. They upgraded the database, introduced horizontal auto-scaling with load balancing, tuned web servers, and offloaded files to Amazon S3. This re-architecture allowed the platform to successfully handle 10,000+ concurrent users and 10,000 hits per second in testing, achieving the required 50x scale. The changes also optimized cloud costs through auto-scaling and enabled safe, zero-downtime releases via Blue-Green deployment, preparing Quest Alliance for its user growth goals.
