Courseplay is a cloud-native product which sits on top of AWS storage layers and utilizes multiple AWS services. Due to the unexpected impact caused by the Covid-19 crisis, we have increased our database footprint to suit the increased demand. In the first phase we have been testing the load on larger servers and fine-tuning our parameters to understand what size of DB is required. In the second phase we will offer long term commitments to AWS in order to secured a discounted price-point that will bring down the cost of the service we offer our customers.<\/p>\n

We believe this investment in our database architecture, and in our relationship with AWS, allows Courseplay to scale and leverage the latest technologies for our clients.<\/p>\n
