Case Study: VC Mobile Entertainment achieves global scalability and production‑grade reliability with mLab's managed MongoDB

VC Mobile Entertainment, Inc. Prepares Creature Quest for a Monster-Sized Audience by Relying on mLab

VC Mobile Entertainment, a mobile game developer led by industry veterans, needed a reliable, scalable database solution to support its new game Creature Quest without hiring dedicated DBAs. To ensure data integrity for in‑app purchases and to handle unpredictable growth across millions of devices, VC Mobile selected mLab’s hosted MongoDB DBaaS to provide managed databases, best‑practice expertise, and rapid setup.

mLab delivered a managed MongoDB service that let VC Mobile start on free instances for QA, then scale to paid and eventually mLab’s largest database package as Creature Quest rolled out worldwide. mLab’s backups, dashboard, slow‑query analysis, and responsive support (helping with CI and automated restores) enabled the team to operate production‑grade databases, expand to multiple production and shared instances, and successfully absorb a large user spike after a Google Play feature — all without hiring in‑house DBAs.
