Case Study: Wolt scales fast menu and catalog updates with MongoDB

Wolt delivers menu updates in 2 seconds with MongoDB

Wolt, a delivery platform operating in 500 cities, faced the challenge of scaling its service to support large merchants and chain restaurants with vast, frequently updated product catalogs. Their previous system required manual updates, which was time-consuming, prone to error, and could not keep pace with the needs of major retailers. To solve this, Wolt turned to vendor MongoDB and its product MongoDB Atlas to build a new, flexible, and scalable architecture.

By implementing MongoDB Atlas, Wolt built a new merchant platform that enables real-time, self-service menu and catalog updates. The solution leverages MongoDB's flexible document model and change streams to reflect changes across all locations in just two seconds. This resulted in a vastly improved experience, allowing Wolt to onboard new B2B customers in days instead of weeks and support heavy reads and writes without performance lag.
