Empowering Digital Learning: How Yayasan Alkademi Karya Bangsa Transformed with Cloud Technology
The Problem
Yayasan Alkademi Karya Bangsa, a groundbreaking non-profit organization in Indonesia, has successfully trained over 29,000 learners in digital technology, including software development and digital marketing, all at no cost. To support these students, they relied on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) hosted in a local datacenter. While this setup was sufficient for their current scale, it became evident that the next phase of their mission required a more robust solution. Their upcoming program aimed to onboard an additional 10,000 students, bringing new challenges to their Learning Management System (LMS).
Key scenarios—such as large-scale registrations, concurrent final coding tests, and live interviews—required elastic resources that could scale up rapidly during peak usage windows, and efficiently downscale during less demanding periods like self-learning phases. Furthermore, with only three weeks available for the transition, any delays in migrating to a cloud-based infrastructure could impact the success of the program. A modern, scalable, and efficient solution was imperative for Yayasan Alkademi to maintain its high standards and meet its goals.
The Solution
Radya Labs quickly sprang into action, aligning its expertise in app modernization, cloud-native architecture, and AI solutions to address Yayasan Alkademi's challenges. Through detailed discussions with Yayasan Alkademi’s engineering team—a small but dedicated group—Radya Labs meticulously outlined the path forward. Recognizing the constraints posed by the limited project timeline and the immediate need for scalability, the team proposed a “lift-and-shift” cloud migration approach.
This strategy allowed Yayasan Alkademi to transfer their existing VPS-based LMS infrastructure to Microsoft Azure swiftly, ensuring cloud flexibility from day one without demanding extensive rearchitecting during this critical window. Following a structured process of planning, implementation, and operation, Radya Labs completed the migration in under two weeks—well ahead of schedule. Alongside the lift-and-shift, Radya Labs implemented best practices by creating separate development and production environments, adopting CI/CD pipelines, and incorporating containerization technology. The migration was executed flawlessly, with zero downtime and no disruptions to the learners’ experience.
The Results
Yayasan Alkademi’s transition to Microsoft Azure brought transformative changes to their operations. The newly adopted cloud infrastructure empowered them with unparalleled scalability, allowing them to onboard an additional 10,000 learners seamlessly. During peak usage scenarios, resources could be scaled up automatically and efficiently, ensuring smooth registrations, coding tests, and live interviews. On weekends or during self-paced learning phases, the system could automatically downscale to match active user volumes, significantly optimizing operational costs.
Reliability improved dramatically, leading to enhanced user experiences, with no interruptions or performance issues during critical moments. Furthermore, the adoption of Microsoft Azure fortified the LMS with advanced security features, safeguarding sensitive student data and maintaining compliance with industry standards. With this robust, cloud-enabled setup, Yayasan Alkademi solidified its position as a trailblazer in Indonesia’s digital education landscape, paving the way for even greater impact in the future.
Through its precision, efficiency, and expertise, Radya Labs demonstrated its ability to deliver solutions tailored to unique customer requirements. This successful collaboration with Yayasan Alkademi Karya Bangsa showcases how businesses can thrive when technology and strategic vision come together. Radya Labs stands ready to help organizations unlock their potential and achieve ambitious goals.
