Alef Education, a leading provider of online learning solutions in the K-12 sector, successfully scaled their blended learning platform from 10 schools to over 400 using Aiven for Apache Kafka. The AI-powered Alef Platform serves over 120,000 students worldwide and is built around microservices, centering on Apache Kafka and related technologies. Alef Education chose to move to a managed Kafka provider to handle the infrastructure side of their platform in its entirety. They now use Aiven for all their data processing with a service chain composed of Kafka, InfluxDB, and Grafana, which has improved the reliability and user experience of their platform.
