Summary

How Hudl uses MongoDB to scale its video analysis platform is a story of growth and innovation. As Hudl's video analysis platform grew, it outgrew some of its infrastructure, including its database. The company evaluated different options for scaling its database but ultimately chose MongoDB. With MongoDB, Hudl has achieved steady, consistent growth and doubled in size, enabling the company to process large volumes of data, such as 650 million plays and 1 billion video views per month. The platform's use of MongoDB has also enabled it to stream 18 petabytes of data in a year and ingest 25 hours of raw video per minute during peak football season.
