Case Study: Beamable accelerates game development and scales live operations with MongoDB Atlas

Beamable saves developers $300,000-400,000 a year with MongoDB

Beamable, a gaming development platform, needed a highly scalable and performant database to power its live operations services, such as player identity and leaderboards, so game developers could focus on content instead of infrastructure. Their challenge required horizontal and vertical scaling with single-digit millisecond response times to handle spiky game traffic. They turned to the vendor MongoDB, specifically using MongoDB Atlas.

MongoDB Atlas provided the scalable, managed solution Beamable required, enabling them to support billions of API calls and terabytes of data for their customers with minimal operational overhead. The results were significant, with Beamable saving some development teams up to $400,000 annually and reducing development cycles by as much as four months, while efficiently handling launch peaks of around 14,000 requests per second.
