Case Study: Mediastream delivers seamless live streaming at scale with MongoDB Atlas

Stream supports 30 million users and 1 million concurrent viewers with MongoDB Atlas

Mediastream, a mediatech company broadcasting to consumers across Latin America, faced the challenge of supporting millions of concurrent viewers for live events like the FIFA World Cup. They needed an enterprise-level cloud database solution that could ensure seamless streaming, manage metadata and user credentials for 30 million users, and provide the scalability to handle massive, unexpected traffic spikes while meeting regional security regulations. To achieve this, they turned to vendor MongoDB.

By implementing MongoDB Atlas, Mediastream gained a scalable, multi-cloud database solution that could elastically scale to process up to 10 million requests per minute with 99.995% availability. This provided the confidence to support huge surges in livestreaming traffic during major events. The results include uninterrupted viewing for consumers, the ability to expand into new markets like the US and Europe in compliance with local regulations, and a platform that allows developers to focus on higher-value tasks. MongoDB provided the foundation for Mediastream's growth and reliability.
