Case Study: commercetools achieves scalable, high-performance composable commerce with MongoDB

commercetools delivers 100% uptime for three years with MongoDB

commercetools, an industry-leading composable commerce platform, partnered with MongoDB to build a modern, data-centric solution capable of handling the demands of the growing e-commerce landscape. Their challenge was to create a highly available and scalable system for their customers, which include major brands like Ulta Beauty and John Lewis, without diverting focus from their core commerce business to managing data infrastructure.

The solution was implemented using MongoDB Atlas, a fully managed cloud-native database service. This provided commercetools with automatic elastic scaling for traffic surges like Black Friday, a highly performant and low-latency backend, and a 100% uptime SLA in Europe for three consecutive years. The results for their customers included a 35% increase in average order value, a 2x sales order increase, a 40% increase in cross-selling, and sub-100ms response times.
