Sauter University: desenvolvimento de um software educacional para aprendizado contínuo em tecnologia e computação em nuvem

Abstract

This paper presents the development of Sauter University, an innovative educational platform for cloud computing certification training, with emphasis on Google Cloud Platform. The platform was designed to address the lack of specialized tools in the Brazilian market, offering adaptive mock exams, intelligent question generation, personalized learning paths, and a gamified scoring system. Developed with a microservices architecture using Spring Boot (Java) for the backend and Next.js (TypeScript) for the frontend, the solution also integrates Google Cloud services such as Cloud Run, Firestore and MongoDB. The results obtained in the first months of operation demonstrated the effectiveness of the approach, with seven certifications achieved by users. The project also stands out for its social impact, being used in professional training programs for underprivileged youth in Rio de Janeiro. The methodology combined Domain-Driven Design with agile practices, resulting in a scalable platform that has already a lot of users internally.
