A mLab Case Study
Onfleet, a San Francisco–based startup that provides infrastructure software for last-mile delivery companies, needed a fully managed MongoDB Database-as-a-Service to guarantee high performance, availability, and reliability while keeping its small engineering team focused on product development. To meet strict SLA and uptime requirements, Onfleet selected mLab’s cloud DBaaS (starting with the free Sandbox and graduating to production plans) so it could rely on expert-managed infrastructure rather than building and operating databases in-house.
mLab supplied a managed MongoDB service with proactive monitoring (mLab Telemetry), rolling node upgrades, backups, failover, and fast technical support—allowing Onfleet to concentrate on features and operations. As a result, Onfleet achieved 99.99%+ uptime, reports months at a time with 100% uptime on its status page, sees double‑digit customer growth monthly, is active in over 50 countries, and supports hundreds of thousands of successful deliveries each month thanks to mLab’s reliability and expertise.
