[ Judged on two days: enrolment day and exam day ]
An education platform is judged on two days: the day a cohort enrols and the day everyone sits the exam. Both are concurrency problems disguised as product problems. Techtaru Digital is an education software development company that designs for those peaks first, delivering custom LMS development, eLearning platform development, virtual classrooms, online assessment and school management software for institutions and EdTech businesses worldwide.

Tell us your learner numbers and assessment model, and we will return an architecture view and a phased estimateplatforms designed around your pedagogy, cohort model and assessment method.
product engineering for EdTech companies from MVP to scale.
standards strategy, load modelling, accessibility audits and platform selection.
Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard and legacy LMS migration with content and record preservation.
student, teacher and parent apps for iOS and Android.
capacity scaling before admission and exam windows.
Course authoring, learning paths, cohorts and batches, prerequisites, certificates, gradebooks and instructor dashboards. Our custom LMS development work suits universities, certification bodies and EdTech platforms whose model does not fit a packaged LMS.
Course catalogues, subscriptions and bundles, drip content, multi-language delivery, and instructor marketplaces with revenue sharing. Platforms serving many institutions sit on multi-tenant SaaS architecture.
Live sessions, breakout rooms, interactive whiteboards, polls, hand-raising, attendance capture and session recording with searchable transcripts.
Question banks with tagging, randomisation and section timing, negative marking, auto-grading, rubric-based manual grading and result publishing workflows.
Identity verification, browser lockdown, screen and camera monitoring, AI flagging with human review queues, and a defensible evidence trail for disputed results.
Admissions, timetabling, attendance, examinations, fee collection with reminders, transport and hostel management, and parent communication.
Enrolment, academic records, credits and transcripts, alumni tracking and institutional reporting.
Tutor discovery and profiles, availability and scheduling, in-session tools, wallets, payouts and dispute handling.
Adaptive learning paths, automated short-answer scoring, doubt-solving assistants and content generation with human review built into the workflow.
learner journeys, content model, standards requirements, peak-load profile and accessibility obligations.
data model, tenancy design and clickable learner and instructor flows.
sprints with a demo tenant from week two and instructor review each cycle.
concurrency testing at multiples of expected peak, WCAG audit, device matrix testing on low-end Android.
phased cohort rollout with capacity scaled ahead of admission and exam windows.
Backend: Node.js, Django, Laravel, .NET. Frontend: React, Next.js, Vue. Mobile: React Native, Flutter, Kotlin, Swift. Live delivery: WebRTC, LiveKit, Agora, Zoom SDK. Video: HLS adaptive streaming with CDN delivery and DRM where content protection is required. Standards: SCORM 1.2 and 2004, xAPI with LRS, LTI 1.3, QTI for question interchange. Data: PostgreSQL, Redis, ClickHouse for learning analytics. Cloud: AWS or Azure with autoscaling groups sized for exam peaks.
Interoperability standards decide whether your content travels. SCORM remains the format most authoring tools export, xAPI captures richer activity beyond the LMS, and 1EdTech LTI 1.3 is what institutional buyers require to plug your tool into their environment. Sell to universities without LTI and procurement stops the deal regardless of product quality. We treat standards support as a launch requirement, not a v2 item.
Exam-day load is a different engineering problem. A platform serving 2,000 concurrent learners comfortably can collapse when 20,000 submit within ninety seconds. The fixes are architectural: queue-backed submissions, read replicas, pre-signed media uploads, autoscaling with warmed capacity, and graceful degradation where video quality drops before the exam fails. We load-test at two to three times your worst realistic peak before launch.
Student data attracts specific rules. FERPA governs US education records, COPPA applies to under-13 users, the UK Age Appropriate Design Code raises the bar for minors, and India's DPDP Act requires verifiable parental consent for children. Public institutions generally require WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility — far cheaper designed in than remediated.
Fixed scope for defined modules; dedicated squads for platform programmes; support retainers with peak-season scaling.
Indicative cost: an LMS MVP generally starts around $20,000–$45,000. Assessment platforms with proctoring and full school management suites cost more, driven mainly by integration count and compliance scope. Timelines: focused LMS MVP, 10–14 weeks; virtual classroom with live delivery, 12–18 weeks; full school management platform, 6–10 months phased by module.
The strongest education software development partners ask about your peak concurrency and standards obligations in the first call. Tell us your learner numbers and assessment model, and we will return an architecture view and a phased estimate.
Configure open-source when requirements are broadly standard and you mainly need delivery. Choose custom LMS development when the product is your business — marketplace mechanics, adaptive learning, proprietary assessment or a differentiated learner experience. Many clients run an open-source core with custom modules around it.
