Case Study: FAIRTIQ achieves 99.99% uptime and scalable public transit processing with MongoDB Atlas

FAIRTIQ ensures 99.99% uptime for 320k daily trips with MongoDB

Fairtiq, a Swiss public transport app, needed a highly scalable and available backend to process over 320,000 daily trips across multiple countries with near-zero downtime. Their initial PostgreSQL database proved too rigid for their rapid growth and continuous delivery model, leading them to seek a more flexible solution from vendor MongoDB.

By migrating to MongoDB Atlas, Fairtiq built a cloud-native, microservices-ready platform. This solution provided the schema flexibility and high availability they required, resulting in 99.99% uptime and the ability to accurately process auto-ticketing from GPS data. The scalable architecture from MongoDB supported their expansion into six new countries.
