Case Study: Solocal reduces database costs and simplifies operations with MongoDB Atlas

Solocal cuts database costs to 4% of IT budget with MongoDB

Solocal, the digital marketing business behind France's PagesJaunes directory, faced the challenge of modernizing its monolithic systems to keep pace with the digital age. The company needed a database solution that could support a new microservices architecture, enable sub-100 millisecond search response times, and reduce the high costs and maintenance burden of its on-premise infrastructure.

The solution was migrating to MongoDB Atlas, the fully managed global database service from MongoDB. This transition automated key processes like indexing and scaling, and consolidated search functionality by replacing separate systems like Elasticsearch. As a result, Solocal reduced database costs from 30% to just 4% of its IT budget, achieved 99.995% availability, and cut deployment times from a week to an hour.
