Case Study: MongoDB achieves improved product stability and faster bug resolution with Bugsnag

MongoDB Compass uses Bugsnag to maintain application stability

MongoDB, the widely used document database, built MongoDB Compass to give DBAs and developers a graphical way to explore and manage data. Despite extensive unit and functional testing, the small, globally distributed Compass team struggled to detect and diagnose real-world edge-case errors—especially in closed environments where user issues were hard to observe.

By integrating Bugsnag, Compass users can send automatic error reports that feed into a centralized dashboard with Slack alerts and JIRA integration for streamlined triage and fixes. This workflow let engineers diagnose bugs more accurately, save at least an hour per day, and continuously improve product stability and customer trust.
