An online learning platform offering Indian government exam preparation courses, including SSC CGL prelims & mains. The platform planned to expand into multiple recorded courses while ensuring secure content delivery and smooth digital payments.
Project Overview
The project was the design, development, and deployment of a full-featured e-learning platform capable of securely hosting and streaming recorded video courses, managing course content, handling user authentication, and processing online payments. The key mandate was to create a modern, highly performant, and secure platform while adhering to a fiercely aggressive 45-day launch deadline.
The Objective
The primary objective for Xtenza was three-fold:
Speed to Market: Deliver a fully functional, production-ready platform, from concept to launch, within a strict 45-day window.
Performance & Scalability: Build an architecture that could efficiently handle a large volume of concurrent users accessing high-definition video content without latency or downtime.
Cost-Effective Infrastructure: Implement a robust hosting and deployment solution that offers control and affordability, avoiding the high costs associated with proprietary cloud services.
The Challenge
Vetripath needed to launch a scalable and secure e-learning platform within 45 days, featuring:
A full content management system for course authors
Secure video streaming & storage
A seamless purchase and enrollment experience
A reliable payments pipeline
High-quality UI/UX optimized for mobile
Authentication, user dashboards, and progress tracking
The tight timeline combined with the need for a robust architecture meant the solution had to be technically sound and efficiently executed.
Complex Multi-Service Integration
The chosen tech stack required seamless integration between diverse, modern tools:
Connecting a Headless CMS (Strapi) to a relational, open-source backend (Supabase) for content and core data.
Integrating a business logic layer (Node.js) specifically for secure transactions via Razorpay payments.
We leveraged a modern, decoupled, and containerized architecture to meet the deadline and performance requirements:
The Solution
A. Headless, Hyper-Efficient Tech Stack
Frontend: Next.js with Shadcn/Tailwind was chosen for a fast, SEO-friendly interface and rapid UI development, leveraging its performance benefits like Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and static generation.
Data & Content: The platform uses a dual-engine approach: Strapi (CMS) for structured course content and editorial workflows, and Supabase (Database/Auth) for real-time features, secure user authentication, and core application data, creating a flexible and powerful backend.
B. Zero-Compromise Video Delivery
Cloudflare Streams: This was the critical decision for video. Using Cloudflare Streams immediately solved the security and performance challenge. It provides:
Adaptive Bitrate Streaming (ABS): Delivers the highest quality video with the lowest latency globally.
Built-in Security: Token-based access controls and stream encryption to prevent content piracy.
Cloudflare R2: Used for highly cost-effective object storage, eliminating the high egress costs typical of other cloud providers, ensuring the client's long-term operational budget remained low.
C. Rapid, Automated Deployment (DevOps)
To manage the complexity of the frontend (Next.js), content manager (Strapi), and custom backend (Node.js/Payments), all services were Dockerized.
Dokploy on a VPS was implemented as a self-hosted Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). This decision provided a single, unified interface for deployment, environment management, and monitoring, cutting the traditional setup time down from weeks to days.
The Outcome
Business Impact
Within the first 60 days of launch, Vetripath achieved:
3,500+ user sign-ups
1,200+ paid course enrollments
98.7% video uptime using Cloudflare Stream
42% faster page loads compared to their previous prototype
0% failed payment rate during the first month
30% reduction in hosting costs due to efficient containerization + VPS setup
User Experience Improvements
Smooth, buffer-free video playback even on low bandwidth
Mobile-first UI led to 65% of traffic converting on mobile
Intuitive dashboard increased daily session duration by 28%
Conclusion
The Vetripath case study is a testament to xtenzatech’s ability to execute complex, time-sensitive projects using the best of the modern, open-source technology ecosystem.
Vetripath now has a strong foundation for expanding into more government exam preparation courses, with a robust backend and world-class content delivery.
