Case Study: Paylocity achieves 5x faster community engagement with MongoDB Atlas

Paylocity speeds Community performance 5x with MongoDB Atlas

Paylocity, a leading human capital management provider, faced significant challenges with the database supporting its Community platform. Their original solution was rigid, incurred high costs during traffic spikes, and suffered from slow query performance that couldn't keep up with their rapidly growing user base, which hampered their ability to maintain service quality. This performance issue threatened their year-on-year user growth.

By migrating to MongoDB Atlas, Paylocity implemented a fully managed, multi-cloud database solution. MongoDB provided a seamless migration and a platform requiring zero maintenance. The results were substantial: Paylocity achieved performance speeds five times faster than before while reducing costs by 80%, saving an estimated $100k annually. This empowered them to efficiently support 60% user growth and maintain a superior experience for over one million active users.
