The Challenge
Next Tech, an online tech education platform, was facing significant challenges with its collaboration infrastructure. The platform was built on Firebase and was critical for instructor-led learning. However, it was struggling with uptime and speed, leading to a poor experience for both students and instructors. The company's goal was to make online tech education as powerful as in-person learning by enabling reliable, real-time collaboration. However, the existing infrastructure was not able to meet these requirements. Next Tech tried several alternatives, including Cloud Firestore, Action Cable, Pushpin, and Nchan, but none of these solutions were able to meet the company's needs for a reliable and fast collaboration platform.
