Case study

EKey — license management at scale

Software Engineer · Synergy-IT · 2019–2023

A long-running license-management platform for a national education publisher — users, newsletters, and digital licenses — load-balanced to handle ~20k requests/second.

▸ Handles ~20k requests/second, load-balanced

▸ Powers digital licensing for a national education platform, in production since 2008

Problem

A core licensing system that had served a major education platform since 2008 needed to stay fast and reliable under very high, sustained request volumes.

Approach

WCF services plus four background services and an administration UI, load-balanced and continuously optimised for throughput and reliability.
