Summary

BookMyShow Continues to Lead Online Entertainment Ticketing in India and Scales to 25 Million Users with MongoDB` BookMyShow, an online entertainment ticketing service in India, has scaled its operations significantly since adopting MongoDB as its database platform. The company, which was founded in 2007, had previously struggled with scalability issues using Microsoft SQL Server, but switched to MongoDB in 2010 and saw a significant improvement in performance and reliability. Today, MongoDB is the default database for developing ideas and services at BigTree Entertainment, the company behind BookMyShow, and has enabled the service to handle over 10 million ticket sales per month and serve three billion pages across its web and mobile apps. The adoption of MongoDB has also allowed BigTree to improve customer experience through personalized recommendations, with an 18% increase in conversion rates compared to non-personalized experiences. The company plans to continue using MongoDB as it scales further, with future plans including containerization of the databases and sharding the customer database.
