Summary

Enabling Extreme Agility at The Gap With MongoDB`: Gap, a global specialty retailer, uses MongoDB for its supply chain systems, including purchase order management, due to its ability to store data in different shapes and make sense of it. This enabled the company to evolve quickly and become more agile. By moving from a monolithic application architecture to a microservices-based approach, Gap was able to improve developer productivity and focus on building business capabilities rather than technology. MongoDB's flexibility allowed the development team to iterate on the system rapidly, enabling them to meet changing business requirements. The use of MongoDB enabled Gap to become more competitive by giving developers software they loved to use, making them happy and productive, which is ultimately about people.
