Aurora LMS
Kindle Academy's LMS was falling over at exam time. We rebuilt it as one platform for 80,000 students.
SAAS AND INTERNAL TOOLS
Custom SaaS Platform & Complex Management Systems
The work is running on spreadsheets and three subscriptions. We replace that with one SaaS product: tenants, billing, roles and the workflow your team already knows.
Tenant isolation in the database, not only in the UI
Stripe billing, roles and white-label when the product needs them
Built around your operating rules, not a generic template
HOW WE BUILD THIS
SaaS that stays clean when the tenth customer arrives
A SaaS product fails at tenancy, billing and permissions long before it fails at screens. We design those boundaries first so two organisations never see each other's data.
What this looks like in the codebase
After the workflow is clear, we lock the technical choices that keep the product maintainable. These are the ones we use here:
- Hybrid multi-tenancy models with PostgreSQL Row-Level Security (RLS)
- Stripe Billing webhooks with idempotent event handlers and invoice generation
- Fine-grained role-based access control with custom organization permissions
- Edge-based custom domain SSL routing and tenant-specific white-labeling
Stack we ship with
Chosen because we have run it in production, not because it is fashionable.

WHAT YOU GET
The work inside this service
From the first data model to a production deploy. Here is what we hand over.
01 / CUSTOM SAAS PLATFORMS
Multi-Tenant SaaS Foundations
Org onboarding, invites, roles and tenant data that cannot leak. The boring foundations a SaaS product cannot skip.
- Tenant provisioning and custom subdomain routing
- Automated subscription tiers and usage metering
- Audit logs and team activity monitoring
- Exportable compliance and financial reports
02 / CUSTOM SAAS PLATFORMS
Custom LMS & Educational Platforms
Courses, cohorts, video, quizzes and instructor grading in one product, instead of a portal plus a video host plus a spreadsheet.
- Drip-scheduled lesson release systems
- Real-time student progress tracking and gradebooks
- Peer review and discussion engines
- Standards-compliant analytics and progress reporting
03 / CUSTOM SAAS PLATFORMS
Operational Dashboards & Booking Systems
Bookings, calendars, inventory and notifications shaped to your rules, so staff stop copying between three paid tools.
- Real-time calendar and booking engines
- Automated transactional email and SMS notifications
- Inventory synchronization across physical locations
- Custom financial reconciliation exports
WHY THIS HOLDS UP
A call we made in production
Separating Content Ownership from Enrollment State in LMS Tenancy
A CALL WE MADE IN PRODUCTION
Separating Content Ownership from Enrollment State in LMS Tenancy
In multi-tenant learning management architectures, naive designs bind course content directly to tenant organization IDs, making content syndication across corporate branches a nightmare. We architected a decoupled entity model: content definitions exist as versioned immutable entities, while enrollment states, grading progress, and cohort schedules exist in separate tenant-scoped tables with PostgreSQL Row-Level Security. This eliminated data duplication while allowing instantaneous branch-wide curriculum updates.
WHAT CHANGED
View all case studies Products we built this way
PulseFit
Halcyon Fit was running bookings, billing and trainer pay in three tools. We replaced that with one gym operating system.
Ledgerly
Strata Retail spent 35 hours a week reconciling supplier invoices by spreadsheet. We built one ops portal for 24 branches.
Forge CRM
Forgeworks reps were fighting a bloated CRM instead of talking to buyers. We built a pipeline they update in seconds.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions before you write to us
Yes. Application code, database schema, billing config and deploy scripts are yours. We sign IP assignment before work starts.
Often that is the point. We map bookings, billing, roles and reports to one product so staff stop copying between subscriptions. We do not rip out a tool that is already doing a job well.
From the workflow: who logs in, what they do in the first week, and what must not leak between tenants. You get a written scope and a range before we start.
