Empowering African Youth through the ReadytoWork App with AWS for Absa

AWS

Developing a Scalable Mobile Solution from Scratch

Given the absence of existing infrastructure capable of handling high traffic volumes, we were tasked with building a robust and scalable mobile app from the ground up. The mobile app needed to accommodate a large number of users simultaneously while delivering a seamless and responsive user experience on various devices.

To achieve this, we utilised various Amazon Web Services (AWS) products. AWS Elastic Beanstalk was crucial in deploying an application that could automatically scale to meet the demands of any number of users. This ensured that the ReadytoWork mobile app could handle significant traffic spikes without compromising performance.

Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) was employed to establish and manage a scalable relational database in the cloud. This provided the necessary infrastructure to support the app’s backend operations, ensuring data integrity and accessibility at all times. For storage, Amazon S3 was used to securely store user data and learning materials, while Amazon Elastic Load Balancer and Amazon CloudFront were leveraged to improve availability, scalability, and secure content delivery with low latency and high transfer speeds.

Empowering the Next Generation with Digital Learning Tools

The ReadytoWork mobile app has been instrumental in Absa’s mission to empower young people with the skills they need to succeed in the workforce or as entrepreneurs. The app delivers comprehensive learning content across various essential areas, enabling users to gain valuable knowledge and skills at their own pace.

Our continued partnership with Absa involves not only maintaining the ReadytoWork mobile app but also enhancing its features to ensure it remains relevant and effective in meeting the needs of its users. The scalability, security, and performance of the app are continuously monitored and optimised to provide a reliable platform for young people to build their future.

This collaboration highlights the power of strategic partnerships in creating impactful digital solutions that drive social and economic development. By leveraging advanced AWS technologies, we have helped Absa create a mobile platform that truly makes a difference in the lives of young people across Africa.
