Scaling the 30x peak – Boxed keeps shipping as Atlas keeps the lights on` is a story about how Boxed, an online retailer of consumer packaged goods, scaled its business during the COVID-19 pandemic using MongoDB Atlas and Google Cloud Platform. The company built its entire internal software stack from scratch and chose MongoDB Atlas for its flexibility, scalability, and low maintenance requirements. With MongoDB Atlas, Boxed was able to handle a sudden surge in sales, absorbing a 30x increase in orders with ease, thanks to autoscaling capabilities. However, the relational data warehouse couldn't keep up with real-time data needs, leading Boxed to turn to MongoDB Charts for real-time insights and actionable dashboards. The partnership between MongoDB Atlas and Google Cloud Platform has given Boxed confidence in its tech stack, allowing it to scale efficiently and make informed business decisions.
