Cubite successfully enhanced their development process by decoupling the Open edX frontend from its backend using Strapi and Next.js, addressing the challenges posed by the monolithic structure of Open edX. This decoupling allowed the frontend to be independently updated without impacting the server-side code, significantly improving the speed and ease of development. By creating content types in Strapi and utilizing Next.js for the frontend, Cubite enabled non-technical teams to make UI changes directly through Strapi's dashboard, streamlining the process. The separation led to faster feedback loops, higher performance, and easier integrations with services like Auth0 and Stripe, all while maintaining a single source of truth for data. This architectural shift allowed Cubite to enhance scalability, maintainability, and overall performance, aligning with their mission to engage and empower students through a flexible learning platform.
