Summary

Bond & MongoDB: Delivering Thoughtfulness at Scale Using MongoDB Atlas & AWS` Bond is a gifting company that generates handwritten notes using proprietary machine learning algorithms. Their mission is to equip people with technology to be more thoughtful, and they've scaled their business exponentially. Initially built on MySQL, Bond's team evaluated other options but found MongoDB due to its robust ecosystem, expressive query language, and scalability. They migrated to MongoDB as their database of record, enabling the platform to scale and process more orders. After using a managed service for MongoDB, Bond turned to MongoDB Atlas for end-to-end encryption and features, which has become a security and operational hurdle-free solution. With MongoDB Atlas, Bond has built a machine data analytics platform and is using machine learning to optimize their robotic fleet and anticipate customer needs.
