Case Study: Checkr achieves zero-downtime migration and simplified scaling with MongoDB Atlas (MongoDB)

Checkr - Customer Case Study

Checkr provides modern, compliant background-check APIs for enterprises and startups and had built its platform on MongoDB from the start. They needed to migrate their clusters to a managed service for easier operations, one‑click scaling, flexible storage and at‑rest encryption — all while performing a zero‑downtime migration that required special permissions and close coordination with support.

Checkr migrated to MongoDB Atlas, working with Atlas support to enable required permissions and contributing a Go wrapper to sync data post‑import; Atlas also made product changes based on their feedback. The migration delivered responsive performance, simpler management, robust security controls, and a solution the Checkr team now recommends for its features and competitive pricing.
