Case Study: Playtomic achieves 14 million users and 100-200ms latency with MongoDB Atlas

Playtomic scales to 14 million users with MongoDB

Playtomic, a global racquet sports community connecting players and clubs, faced challenges scaling its platform due to rigid relational schemas, manual infrastructure management, and a fragmented search system. These limitations hindered innovation and the ability to handle growth efficiently. To overcome this, Playtomic turned to the vendor MongoDB, adopting their managed cloud solution MongoDB Atlas.

The solution implemented by MongoDB centered on MongoDB Atlas and MongoDB Atlas Search, which provided automated infrastructure, integrated search capabilities, and deep observability. This allowed Playtomic to unify its system on a single, easily scalable cluster. The results were significant: Playtomic successfully scaled to serve 14 million users, maintained consistent latency of 100-200 milliseconds, and gained the resilience to handle traffic spikes, all while simplifying operations and reducing costs.
