Case Study: G-bits scales to 10 million players and doubles operational efficiency with MongoDB and Alibaba Cloud ApsaraDB for MongoDB

G-bits doubles operational efficiency and speeds recovery 50x with MongoDB

G-bits, a leading Chinese game developer, faced challenges scaling its popular mobile game, Yi Nian Xiao Yao, and improving operational flexibility with its previous relational database, MySQL. The vendor, MongoDB, partnered with Alibaba Cloud to provide a solution using their product, ApsaraDB for MongoDB, to handle dynamic data structures and ensure a seamless player experience for its audience of tens of millions.

By implementing Alibaba Cloud's ApsaraDB for MongoDB, the vendor's fully-managed service, G-bits gained a highly flexible and performant data layer. This solution resulted in a 50x improvement in recovery times and at least a doubling of operational efficiency, allowing the team to focus on development and support the game's successful launch to over 10 million players.
