How no-code leader Bubble turned to Airdev for a custom rebuild of their Developer Certification Platform... built on Bubble. After over a decade as the world's leading no-code platform, the team at Bubble decided to try something new: hiring one of their own agencies to completely rebuild their developer certification platform using Bubble. When Bubble launched its Bubble Developer Certification exam in July 2023, their aim was to establish a rigorous, universal standard for professional Bubble Developers. This was a critical step to bring credibility and transparency to the no-code market and to show who is proficient at Bubble.

With their internal team at capacity with other projects, Bubble released an RFP in early 2024 to find an external agency partner to help rebuild the exam. After evaluating proposals from 8 different Gold agency partners, they decided to partner with Airdev for the project. In early 2024, Bubble and Airdev swiftly began working towards a 3-month launch goal. Airdev's project manager addressed Bubble's frontend and backend functionality needs, offering new feature/UX ideas based on prior quiz and form app experience. Having taken the Bubble Developer Certification exam themselves, Airdev also drew on firsthand experience to create the best exam possible for certifying Bubblers.  The results?

A new exam platform rebuilt in just 3 months – done without taking the exam offline.

A more reliable and polished exam with a noticeably better user experience. The new application provides exam takers with a much more performant, reliable, and flexible experience, most importantly reducing the exam crash rate from 5% to zero.
