AWS Competencies: Sumdog
About the Customer
Sumdog is an educational platform based in Edinburgh, Scotland, offering online learning games for primary school children. With over 7,500 schools across the UK utilizing their platform, Sumdog is dedicated to enhancing the educational experience for young learners.
Customer Challenge
Sumdog faced the following challenges:
Terraform Code Upgrade: The company needed to refactor and upgrade its existing Terraform code to the latest version, which posed risks of potential errors and instability.
Data Migration: Transitioning data from EC2 to Amazon RDS involved meticulous planning to ensure secure and lossless data transfer.
Infrastructure Compliance: Moving infrastructure to an EU account to comply with EU data protection regulations required extensive coordination and a deep understanding of regulatory requirements.
Partner Solution
To tackle these challenges, Sumdog partnered with AWS experts, who implemented a comprehensive plan encompassing the following key steps:
Terraform Code Refactoring
The AWS team collaborated with Sumdog’s developers to refactor the Terraform code, ensuring all necessary changes were implemented and rigorously tested for stability and performance.

Backup System Implementation
A robust backup system was established using AWS Lambda, AWS Batch, and AWS S3. This system automated the creation and secure storage of data backups, complemented by a disaster recovery plan to ensure platform availability in case of failures.
