Case Study: Snaptrip achieves real-time booking accuracy and DevOps-free operations with mLab

Snaptrip Takes a Permanent Vacation Away from DevOps Stress with mLab’s Fully Managed Database-as-a-Service

Snaptrip, a UK marketplace for last-minute cottage rentals, needed to deliver real-time, accurate pricing and availability to customers while operating with limited internal resources and no dedicated DevOps team. To solve this, Snaptrip selected mLab’s fully managed MongoDB Database-as-a-Service to host the booking availability and pricing datastore.

mLab’s hosted MongoDB deployment handles batch processes and traffic spikes — including short bursts of tens of thousands of requests — and remains stable and highly available, enabling Snaptrip to operate without hiring DevOps engineers. The mLab solution delivered immediate-accuracy booking information, reliable uptime during usage spikes, expert support, and measurable cost savings and ROI by freeing engineering resources to focus on growth.
