⚡MongoDB : Industry Use Cases
MongoDB : The database for modern applications
MongoDB is a general purpose, document-based, distributed database built for modern application developers and for the cloud era.
It provides support for all the popular languages like C, C++, C#, .Net, Go, Java, Node.js, Perl, PHP, Python, and many more.
Used by millions of developers to power the world’s most innovative products and services.
Some Real-World Companies That Use MongoDB
eBay
eBay is a multinational company that provides a platform for the customer to customer sales. It is currently running a large number of projects in MongoDB like merchandising categorization, cloud management, metadata storage, search suggestions.
MetLife
MetLife is a leading company in employee benefit programs, annuities, and insurance. There are more than 90 million customers in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, Latin America, Japan, United States. MetLife is using MongoDB for its advanced customer service application called The Wall.
This application provides a combined view of transactions, policy details, and other details of MetLife Customers. It looks like Wall of Facebook, which takes data from 70 legacy systems and merges it into a single record. It stores 24 Terabytes of data and runs across six servers in two data centers. MetLife is working on a series of Big Data projects where MongoDB-based applications are part of it.
Shutterfly
Shutterfly is one of the most popular online photo sharing, and it is using MongoDB to manage and store more than 6 billion images, which has a transaction rate of up to 10,000 operations per second. Shutterfly earlier used Oracle but later transitioned to MongoDB.
Shutterfly company realized that moving to a non-relational database will help them to increase their scalability, performance, and productivity of the programmer.
Shutterfly did consider many other alternate database systems like BerkeleyDB, CouchDB, or Cassandra. The company has confirmed that they are pleased with their decision of transitioning from Oracle to MongoDB.
Aadhar
It is India’s Unique Identification project, which has the biggest biometrics database in the world. Aadhar Project is using MongoDB as its database to store a massive amount of demographic and biometric data of more than 1.2 billion Indians. MongoDB is being used for the storage of images in the Aadhar project.
EA
EA is an online multiplayer game that is using MongoDB Database for its game called FIFA Online 3. MongoDB can easily handle complicated things that need synchronization with each other entirely.
IoT - MongoDB Use Case for Bosch
One of the interesting use cases of MongoDB involves Bosch. Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed the way businesses operate, and Bosch, one of the technology leaders, is not lagging behind.
Bosch has invested a lot on smart power tools and advanced telematics. The key driver to these projects has been the Internet of things. IoT doesn’t just deal with connected devices, but it also specializes in giving real-time insights to improve the processes.
MongoDB has helped Bosch to deliver the IoT-powered apps to its consumers.
As the IoT market is inflating, Bosch plans to implement IoT in most of its services, and MongoDB is accelerating this process for Bosch by giving them an advantage with the scalability and high level of availability.
It would have been difficult for Bosch to execute and implement the IoT platforms with the relational database systems.
Key Takeaways:
MongoDB can be used to:
- Handle multiple documents through a single folder irrespective of size, data models, etc.
- Drive IoT growth.
- Improve flexibility.
- Improve availability.
- Get real-time analytics.
- Improve content management platform experience.
