Case Study: PLAID unlocks real-time consumer insights with MongoDB Atlas

Plaid serves tens of thousands of reads and writes per second with MongoDB

Plaid, Inc., a company providing consumer behavior insights through its KARTE solutions, faced challenges managing its high-volume, real-time data with a self-hosted database. This setup required significant effort from their site reliability engineers for maintenance and scaling, diverting focus from customer value. To boost development speed and enable multi-cloud capabilities, Plaid sought a flexible, cloud-based alternative to traditional relational databases with MongoDB.

MongoDB implemented its Atlas service on Google Cloud, providing a fully managed, multi-cloud document database. This solution reduced the operational load on engineers, allowing them to spin up databases autonomously and focus on building new features. The results included improved stability, better performance, and the ability to serve tens of thousands of reads and writes per second, ultimately freeing developers to deliver more value to customers.
