Case Study: Apteligent achieves real-time, massive-scale mobile app analytics with MongoDB

Crittercism is a Mobile Pioneer Born on MongoDB

Apteligent is a mobile analytics pioneer that monitors apps used by more than a billion people, processing roughly 45,000 user interactions per second (about 4 billion requests daily). The company needed to analyze vast, diverse, and constantly changing streams of unstructured mobile data in real time and scale without downtime—requirements that relational databases' rigid schemas, costly licenses, and proprietary hardware could not meet.

By building on MongoDB’s flexible, schema‑free model and in‑database real‑time query capabilities, Apteligent can ingest new data types on the fly, detect patterns and root causes instantly, and deliver actionable insights to customers. The architecture enabled massive horizontal scale (requests grew from ~700 to 45,000/sec), faster problem resolution, and lower infrastructure costs by running on commodity hardware.
