Case Study: Futureplay Games enhances player experience and scales faster with MongoDB Atlas

Futureplay Games grows to 10 million players with MongoDB Atlas

Futureplay Games, a mobile games studio, faced challenges managing live operations and player data after a successful rebrand of its Merge Gardens game. Relying on a third-party backend limited their ability to iterate quickly and control their own systems. To support growth and enhance the player experience, they decided to migrate their data in-house, turning to MongoDB and its MongoDB Atlas service.

The solution involved migrating to MongoDB Atlas on Google Cloud, using separate databases for operations and player data. This gave Futureplay control, easier scalability, and the ability to manage the system with a small team. The results included a smooth initial deployment, improved monitorability, and the newfound capacity for product managers to directly enhance player experiences through dynamic in-game events. The team at Futureplay Games reported high developer satisfaction and the ability to rapidly develop and adapt their systems using MongoDB.
