Technology Background

The Learnlight Platform is a Learner Management System (LMS) that manages many all aspects of language a skills training by all the actors involved: learners, trainers, content creators, corporate clients, and administrators.

The current platform was created in 2007 using the best practices at the time and has been updated along the years. It is currently a monolithic application divided into 3 tiers: web front-end (HTML5, JS, CSS), application server (ASP.NET MVC5 + API 2), database server (PostgreSQL 9.5).

We are currently starting a full redesign of the platform architecture which will break it into several smaller applications and micro-services. Key changes include moving into a Single Page Application (SPA) model in the front-end, driven by React and using accessible and reactive layout frameworks, all interacting with a pure GraphQL API server implemented in Node.js
