Case Study

Seamless Certificate Management for Government Digital Literacy Initiative

Challenge
 

A large-scale government digital literacy initiative with 7.5 Crore enrolled students needed an efficient system to manage the generation, validation, signing, and distribution of 20-25 Lakh certificates each month. The project involved multiple government authorities, including HKCL, NIOS, CDAC, and MKCL, each responsible for different types of exams and certifications.

Following were the key challenges:

  • High Volume:

    • Monthly generation and distribution of 20-25 Lakh certificates.

    • Involvement of multiple government authorities, each with unique validation and signing processes.

  • Variable System Load:

    • Fluctuating service usage, with peak loads at the beginning of each month.

    • The need for scalability to handle high volumes without compromising performance.

  • Integration with Government Platforms: Certificates needed to be uploaded to both Digilocker and the candidate’s account on the website.

Approach

  • Serverless Architecture:

    • Implemented a serverless design to handle the inconsistent usage patterns effectively.

    • AWS Lambda functions used for scalable, on-demand processing.

    • API Gateways, SQS (Simple Queue Service), and SNS (Simple Notification Service) utilized to manage certificate generation, validation, and notifications.

  • Data Management:

    • DynamoDB deployed for efficient and scalable data storage.

    • Ensured seamless integration with Digilocker and candidate accounts for automatic certificate uploads.

  • Cost Efficiency:

    • Serverless design allowed for significant cost savings by eliminating the need for idle resources during low-usage periods.

    • The system's ability to scale during peak times ensured no additional infrastructure costs during the government project’s temporary suspension

Xponentium Impact
 

  • Cost Savings:

    • Avoided unnecessary infrastructure costs during periods of low usage, leading to an estimated 30% reduction in operational expenses.

    • Project suspension incurred no costs due to the pay-as-you-go model of the serverless architecture.

  • Scalability and Performance:

    • Successfully handled peak loads of up to 25 Lakh certificates per month without compromising performance.

    • Ensured consistent and reliable certificate delivery, enhancing trust in the digital literacy initiative.

  • Enhanced Efficiency:

    • Streamlined the process of certificate generation and distribution across multiple authorities, reducing the time required for validation and signing by 40%.

    • Integrated with Digilocker, simplifying access to certificates for millions of students
