Case Study: 99minutos achieves 50% lower database costs and scalable retail growth with MongoDB Atlas

99minutos cuts database costs by 50% with MongoDB Atlas

99minutos, a fast-growing logistics company in Latin America, faced the challenge of scaling its database to support explosive package volume growth and manage seasonal retail traffic spikes. Their legacy relational database was constrained and required specialized management, hindering flexibility and growth. This led them to seek a solution with MongoDB, specifically migrating to the MongoDB Atlas platform.

MongoDB implemented MongoDB Atlas on Google Cloud, providing a serverless, scalable database that supported a microservices architecture. This solution gave 99minutos the flexibility to unify operations and handle demand surges. The results were significant: database-related costs were cut by over 50%, daily package handling increased by 12,500%, and system uptime was maintained even during cluster issues. MongoDB Atlas enabled 99minutos to efficiently manage 65 services and support continued business expansion.
