“Our platform is built as microservices that are inherently multi-tenant, our database is designed to dynamically create a separate database per account (tenant) per service.”

“The administrative and operative ease are a pleasure to experience:
- We are able to start with very small cluster instances and scale-up on a need basis
- The auto-upgrade feature allows us to have the peace-of-mind from a security operations perspective
- We almost do not have a specialized DBA on the team to manage this database anymore.”

Challenges

The business challenges that led the profiled company to evaluate and ultimately select MongoDB:

  • “The need was for a managed persistence mechanism that inherently supports flexible data models, and was robust enough to support performance needs at high-scale.”
  • Their main objective when selecting MongoDB was: To launch their new application on MongoDB
  • “Launching a new product is never easy:
    • The requirements are not known up-front
    • There’s an urgency to accelerate the feature development for fast feedback. Coupled with limited resources, this means that any effort other than what the feature development requires is a waste!
    • Time is of the essence, and agility to evolve the features is paramount!"
  • The database they were using before MongoDB was:
    • MS SQL Server
