Case Study: Forbes cuts build times to nine minutes with MongoDB Atlas

Forbes cuts build times from 25 minutes to 9 minutes with MongoDB

Forbes, a major global media company, faced challenges with its outdated, on-premises content management system that hindered innovation and developer productivity. Managing the database infrastructure was burdensome, and the system could not support the rapid development of new features needed for a modern user experience. They turned to MongoDB and its managed cloud service, MongoDB Atlas, to overhaul their platform.

The solution from MongoDB provided a flexible, easy-to-adopt database that allowed for fast provisioning and maintenance. By using MongoDB Atlas, Forbes's developers significantly accelerated product development cycles. This resulted in a measurable improvement, with average build times cut from 25 minutes down to just nine minutes, enabling faster delivery of a better experience for both their contributors and readers.
