Education platforms, engineered for the academic calendar.
K-12 districts through research universities. Platforms scaled for enrollment peaks, FERPA-aligned, and operated against SLOs — not war rooms.
Instruction continues. The platform has to keep up.
Enrollment windows, finals, registration — the same systems carry 10× load on the same day, every term.
Student-data sensitivity, identity sprawl across SIS and LMS, and seasonal load patterns are not inconveniences — they are the design constraints. IntraStack builds education platforms against those realities — before adding a single feature.
Identity, federated
One directory for faculty, students, parents, contractors — audit trails that survive a state review.
Calendar-aware scale
Capacity modeled against registration and finals — not against an average day.
Privacy by design
FERPA, COPPA, and state privacy controls embedded in the pipeline — not retrofitted after.
Instructional continuity
Change windows respect class schedules — release cadence matches the academic term.
We do not modernize education technology for its own sake — we modernize it for the next class.
What's hard here.
Three challenges teams in education keep telling us about — and what we do about them.
Seasonal load spikes
Enrollment, finals, registration — the same systems carry 10× load on the same day, every term.
Identity sprawl across SIS and LMS
Faculty, students, parents, contractors. Too many directories. Audit trails fragmented across systems.
Data privacy and compliance
FERPA, COPPA, state privacy laws. Controls that audit cleanly without slowing instruction down.
How we play it.
Our standard motion, tuned to the realities of education.
- 1
Assess current estate
Inventory SIS, LMS, identity, network. Map gaps against sector benchmarks and regulatory exposure.
- 2
Stand up landing zones
Multi-account topology · IAM baseline · network segmentation · guardrails for student data.
- 3
Migrate and modernize
Critical applications lifted in waves. Workloads that buckle at peak refactored against measured demand.
- 4
Operate as one team
Embedded SRE through registration season. Clean capability transfer after.
Identity at the front. Campus and cloud workloads in the middle. Observability and cost visible from the SIS owner's desk.
From the education desk.
