Summary

Sunsama is a daily task manager for busy professionals, combining tasks, meetings, to-dos, and JIRA tickets in a prioritized calendar, allowing users to be more mindful of their time. The company was founded by Ashutosh Priyadarshy and Siya Raj Purohit, who met in 2017, initially working on meeting documentation tools before pivoting to Sunsama. The team is now using MongoDB Atlas for its database needs, citing the ease of use and scalability as key benefits. With a growing user base of 2,000 active users, Sunsama has raised $2.4 million in seed money and features in various publications. The company's decision to use MongoDB was driven by its simplicity and ability to focus on building products for customers rather than managing database infrastructure.
