Challenge
We have been developing Learning Management Systems for our own use as well as for clients since the beginning of our careers and understand that challenges are expected. Study Gita was an exciting project that provided many challenges and allowed the team to grow professionally.
Study Gita is an application developed during the lockdown to simplify the transition from offline to online mode. All temple events, offerings, and workshops had to be completed online. Because ISKCON has a large number of devotees and activities cannot be halted, the project had to be completed in a short period of time, and in a very short span, we had to expand our capacities and capabilities to accommodate approximately 15,000 users.
One of the primary issues we encountered was concurrency during login and courses, as multiple users were logging in simultaneously. Another difficulty we encountered was communication between Temple authorities and the Temple's thousands of devotees. Every event, workshop, course, and so on had to be notified. Also, live streaming of events to thousands of viewers was a task.
