Optimising Operating Costs on AWS

About Schoolzine

Schoolzine’s platform delivers communication and content solutions to schools across Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the UK.

Since 2007, their one goal has been to provide schools with an easy to use, cost-effective parent engagement platform.

To account for substantial variation in content demand over school term and holiday periods, the company developed an AWS-based platform comprising both servers and serverless processing that automatically scaled to meet user demand.
