K-12 assessment platform with a century-old test catalog modernizing its tech stack
Riverside Insights delivers standardized assessments (Woodcock-Johnson, CogAT) to K-12 schools and districts. The company is actively modernizing legacy applications while managing a sales-heavy org structure—14 open sales roles against 3 engineering roles signals a business hitting distribution limits on old tech and racing to build new capability. Stack migration away from PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and Oracle toward AWS and Kubernetes indicates infrastructure rearchitecture underway to support district-scale deployments.
Riverside Insights is an assessment platform serving K-12 educators and school districts with standardized cognitive and achievement tests. Founded in 2018, the company inherited a catalog of widely-used assessments and now distributes them through a direct sales motion to individual districts and multi-district organizations. The core challenge is translating legacy test administration and scoring workflows into modern, cloud-native systems that can scale across fragmented district IT environments while maintaining the psychometric rigor that educators rely on.
Production stack centers on .NET, C#, and SQL Server with Salesforce for CRM and HubSpot for marketing. Infrastructure runs on AWS with Kubernetes orchestration, Terraform for IaC, and Datadog + CloudWatch for observability. Frontend uses React and TypeScript.
