Case Study: Softinstigate achieves near-100% availability with MongoDB Atlas

Softinstigate achieves nearly 100% uptime with MongoDB

Softinstigate, a specialized services company focused on cloud-native digital products, faced challenges with inflexible relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL that hindered business agility. These legacy systems required excessive maintenance and were ill-suited for the fast-moving Italian SMB market they targeted. To overcome this, they turned to the vendor MongoDB, specifically using MongoDB Atlas.

The solution was building RESTHeart, a stateless REST API microservice architecture on MongoDB and AWS. This allowed for simple, rapid development with near 100% availability and automatic scaling. The results were transformative: MongoDB’s reliability and low maintenance freed Softinstigate to execute a dual go-to-market strategy, serving both SMBs and enterprises. For example, one customer, AutoInRete.com, built a backend in just 11 developer days using RESTHeart and MongoDB, achieving nearly 100% uptime in production.
