Challenges They Face
GATE Academy was struggling with issues that significantly affected the scalability and security of its live educational content. Their key challenges included:

- High Operational Costs: The absence of optimization and advanced cloud solutions led to high content delivery costs
- Feature Limitations: Limited access to modern streaming tools made it difficult to scale and adapt to user demands.

After understanding GATE Academy’s pain points, our team at AppSquadz deployed a powerful AWS-based solution to enhance video delivery, safeguard content, and cut down operational expenses:

- Efficient Content Delivery: Leveraged AWS CloudFront and S3 for scalable, low-latency content distribution.
- Monitoring & Security Tools: Integrated AWS WAF and CloudWatch for real-time protection and performance monitoring.
- Multi-Platform App Development: Built secure Android and Windows apps along with a responsive website to widen reach and improve user access.
