Case Study: a UK-based digital education provider achieves faster, more reliable global learning delivery with Zymr cloud modernization

a UK-based digital education provider improves page load times by 55% with Zymr

The customer, a UK-based digital education provider, faced challenges with its global e-learning platform, which suffered from high latency due to aging on-premise servers in Europe, a complex and forked codebase, limited observability, and slow manual deployments. The vendor, Zymr, provided cloud-native consulting and engineering services to modernize the infrastructure.

Zymr migrated the platform to Google Cloud Platform, implemented Cloud CDN, and established a unified trunk-based code model with GitLab CI/CD pipelines for canary deployments. This solution, enhanced with Prometheus and Stackdriver for observability, resulted in a 55% improvement in page load times, a 35% reduction in hotfixes, and deployment times under 15 minutes. The platform achieved 99.98% uptime across three global regions, significantly expanding its reach and improving developer productivity.
