JAExams
Comprehensive website deployment with backend, SEO and analytics integration
JAExams is an exam invigilation platform based in Germany. We built their public landing page using Next.js and React. We built and integrated a custom backend for handling subscriptions.
Overview
JAExams is a comprehensive exam invigilation platform that streamlines the entire exam display process, put in their own words: "Create and manage exams with JAExams. The comprehensive platform that makes exam invigilation simple, secure, and insightful for educators worldwide.".
Architecture
A React/Next.js front-end communicates with the Frostcloud Titanium API services handling authentication, authorization and data storage for all website related information. Stateless frontend deploys via container images to the Frostcloud Zenith with blue/green rolling updates to minimize any downtime that might be experienced by an end-user.
Security & Compliance
Role-based access layers, encrypted data at rest (managed database), TLS termination at edge, audit logging and principle-of-least-privilege service accounts.
Tooling & Platform
Automated CI/CD builds lean multi‑stage Docker images, scans for vulnerabilities, and runs Lighthouse + structured data checks before release. GA4 events and structured logs provide clear insight into usage and issues. Upcoming Stripe integration will enable secure direct purchase flows.
Deployment & Operations
Zenith handles safe rolling updates with health checks before traffic shifts. Centralized metrics, logs and daily backups keep the platform reliable and recoverable. Hardened non‑root containers and readiness probes help surface issues early.
Outcomes & Impact
- Reduced deployment lead time via automated CI/CD gates
- Improved SEO baseline (Core Web Vitals monitored)
- Security posture strengthened with centralized auth & audit trails
