The Problem
EduSpark faced several significant challenges in creating their learning platform:

The platform needed to support thousands of concurrent users with video streaming, interactive content, and real-time collaboration, while maintaining performance and reliability across global regions.
Personalization at Scale
EduSpark wanted to provide personalized learning experiences based on each student's progress, preferences, and learning style, which required sophisticated data analysis and adaptive learning algorithms.
